Hamilton v Vettel: What the stats say
Hamilton v Vettel: What the stats say
Lewis Hamilton has taken a 24-point lead over Sebastian Vettel into Formula 1's summer shutdown at the top of the drivers' championship, but that does not quite tell the full story, with Ferrari having brought the fiercest challenge yet to Mercedes' dominance of the V6 Hybrid era.
So how has Hamilton opened up no only the biggest standings lead of the season, but also the widest advantage he has ever held at this stage of a campaign before?
The stats certainly back up claims that Ferrari are quicker than Mercedes in 2018 - Vettel's average qualifying position is on the front row, while Hamilton is third.
But the standings leader trumps his rival in both points per race and average race finish, showing the Silver Arrows have been able to turn it on when it matters most on a Sunday.
