Side by side comparison: Vergne vs di Grassi onboard qualifying lap

comments

Much has been made of the different handling characteristics of the Renault chassis (used by Techeetah) and the Abt Schaeffler Audi Sport setup. Here, we place Jev's Mexico City qualifying onboard side by side with Lucas di Grassi's, to get a sense of the different handling characteristics of each car.

You'll also see that the cars were very evenly matched until sector 3, when Lucas' uncharacteristically scrappy final sector left him far down towards the back of the grid.
