If he wasn't, then it’s more of a philosophical debate—and honestly, I feel like Lewis and the others were totally playing it smart just to save their tires. They’d basically run a much slower lap than the benchmark just to dodge a penalty while keeping those tires in much better shape...
That line is fast enough that he was definitely gaining an edge on every single lap.
