Michael Schumacher holds the record for the highest number of fastest laps with 77, followed by Lewis Hamilton with 67.
These powertrain reconfigurations have drastically been able to cut the time of the fastest lap achievable by Formula One racecars.
Ultimately they designed a powertrain configuration that cut the fastest lap time achievable by a standard Formula One racecar by over 20 seconds.
[6] A researcher at Durham University studied the aerodynamic effects on Formula One racecars and how to make them more efficient and ultimately faster.
If the tyres can have more grip there would be more friction and less slippage which would allow the car to go faster through corners, and subsequently decrease the time it takes to complete a lap.
