Why does the 'one-take' video of the lap record show a time of 7:04.92, while the officially published lap time is 7:04.957?
Official answer
The lap timing in the 'one-take' video was recorded using onboard equipment, whereas the final published lap time was recorded using the Nürburgring circuit timer. There is a discrepancy of a few thousandths of a second between the two devices. The final lap time is based on the Nürburgring official certification.
In the 'one-take' video, to provide a better viewing experience for fans, we integrated the speed, accelerator pedal opening, brake pedal opening, and timing information recorded by the onboard equipment into the video. For data reliability and presentation consistency, all information used was recorded by the onboard equipment.
