1 second quicker ?

Approximately. The improved power to weight dictates as such, it suggests that the driver didn't have confidence with the vehicle. Same reason the 458 beat the ZR1, the driver connected with the 458 and had no issue attacking corners with it, the ZR1 while very capable, feels completely different. They may not be getting enough seat time to come to terms with the vehicle.

They do use multiple drivers, but they are all amateurs, for it to be really fair they would have to borrow the Stig for a few days.
