Best Lap of the Weekend - Istanbul Park

These are the fastest laps set by each driver over the whole event.

Team Driver Sess Time
============================================
Ferrari Massa Q1 1'25.994
Ferrari Räikkönen Q2 1'26.050

How does the fastest lap of the whole weekend (3 practice sessions, 3 qualifying
segments and the race) compare to the fastest lap of the weekend in 2007?

Here are two tables - one compares driver with driver; easy enough if the same
driver remains in the same team. If not, compare the 2007 driver with the guy
who replaced him.

'S' is the session when the best lap was achieved (P1/P2/P3/Q1/Q2/Q3/R)
'Lps' are the total laps in all sessions (2007 excludes any third drivers)
'Diff' is the gain/loss in seconds
'%Diff' is the difference in time as a percentage of the 2007 time

A negative Diff/%Diff mean that the driver/team improved. Positive means they
got worse.

There can be several reasons for the variations seen.

Apologies if the tables wrap - save it and reformat if you are interested.

Note: Spyker-Ferrari was renamed to Force India-Ferrari, all other team names remain
the same.

Notes
=====
Once again Fisichella tops the table, gaining nearly 3s on last year. All 20
remaining driver combinations improved their best times.


The second table takes the best lap time from both drivers in each team and compares
with the equivalent team last season. Probably a better comparison.

I think the real question here is will Barrichello's record for starts ever
be matched? I mean, it's amazing that he's been around for so long and
always seems to have a drive which supports him. Must be one heck of a nice
fellow and of course a good driver. Not great mind you, but still damn
good;-)
