Yea and after watdching the video i think theres one massive flaw in their comparison. And that is the traction part.
...
Alex and the other guy probably forgot that dimension when making this video
We'd have to ask Alex to be certain but personally I'd be astonished he he did 'forget'. Rather I suspect it's so obvious that the gears used to drive optimally aren't the same that there was no point trying to do an equivalent comparison in this regard. Instead they focused on how the end result of driving the fastest lap possible compared, which doesn't seem unreasonable.
@Ultrasonic_77 I mentioned it in my last reply. There's a whole segment in the video just about how wrong the gear ratios are.
What are gear ratios if not torque delivery/traction? That and power curves are what determine what gear you'll want to be in on corner entry and what gear you'll be upshifting to on corner exit.
Tyre model will obviously influence that too, but there's an entire segment in the video just to show how off the torque is.

@mariohomohsomewhat off-topic and regarding the telemetry you've posted.
I don't like the guy but VER is a beast. Keeping the gear low to deliver more power out of corners putting 0.7s onto Sainz which isn't a poor driver at all.
(I wouldn't like to be his gearbox tho but this isn't my problem haha)
