Has Hamilton got the fastest car?
As could be guessed, the record of the fastest lap ever driven in a Formula 1 belongs to Lewis Hamilton and his Mercedes W11 in the temple of speed, the circuit of Monza. Keke Rosberg set a pole lap at the 1985 Silverstone GP at an average speed of 259.01 km/h.
Which is faster LMP1 vs F1?
As you may have noticed, the LMP1 car accelerates much faster than a Formula 1 car. The F1 car can go from 0-60 in 2.5 seconds, but the LMP1 car does the same in 1.9 seconds. The sheer downforce that a Formula 1 car is able to produce in cornering means that it can corner at a much faster speed than an LMP1 car.

Making it quicker laps than those 10 or 20 years ago. 2018 F1 is faster than 2017, 2019 F1 is faster than 2018. It may get faster than fastest car. Its just my theory that F1 be faster than fastest car. But they’re getting faster every year.
How do F1 and LMP1 cars maximize top speed?
Neither F1 nor LMP1 are designed to maximize top speed. All the thingies you see attached to the bodywork make the cars slower, not faster. But they increase grip, which makes the car faster in turns. So the cars are as quick as possible over an entire track lap. What they lose on straights is more than gained in turns.
Why do modern F1 cars have such different lap times?
In a straight line they are nearly the same.But modern F1 cars can take a turn with insanely high speeds when compared to the previous generation.This is the reason for having quicker lap times even though the top speeds are almost the same. Have a look at Montoya’s qualifying lap in 2004 Monza.
