the race this weekend in Indy on the F1 track got me thinking

F1 70 sec lap
GP 100 sec lap
2.55 mile track
avg speeds:
F1 131 mph
GP 92

the F1 will lap the GP in 2.33 laps
it will lap it ~21 times in a 70 lap race

70 lap race:
F1 70 laps, 179 miles
GP on lap 49, 125 miles
wins by 21 laps and 54 miles...

time to cover full race distance of 179 miles:
F1 82 min
GP 117

the F1 car has 35 minute lead after 82 minutes and a 54 mile lead...
