Porsche just lapped the Nurburgring in 6:47 or something, that actually means nothing, because the last Porsche lap record was in an older car with old technology.
Bottas is in nominally the same car, yet he didnt manage the same record time. Odd.
But the gap between Bottas and Hamilton was not 1.7 seconds, just 0.3. So that is the only comparison that should be made. If you find it exciting that a newer car can lap faster than an older car, good for you. For me, it is just something I would expect.
