Cat and Mouse

It's usually extremely hard to visually pick out whatever performance advantage top Formula 1 teams may have on their peers. It is after all a game of 10ths if not 100ths of a second and without telemetry data it can be a challenge .

In this clip from the British Grand Prix however, it is fairly obvious that the Ferrari had quite a large performance differential from Lewis Hamilton's McLaren (...of course we all knew from Ron Dennis that it's not the Ferrari that is faster, it's the McLaren that's slower! Read Here and Here).

Kimi seems to be able to reel in Hamilton at will but what is most impressive is how well the Ferrari works in the dirty air of the McLaren. Look at how the red car tracks with very little push though the Maggotts Becketts complex and conversely how twitchy the McLaren looks especially at Stowe.
Kimi even tries some blatant super late apex, slow in, early on the throttle moves on Lewis and almost pulls it off at Brooklands before Hamilton shuts the door hard. Raikkonen was smart enough to wait until the McLaren's fuel stop to pull off a stunning series of fast laps and gain the lead.
