Ideally I'd like to do around 20-25. The Monaco GP is 78 laps, but 39 laps on 50%.I recommend you doing 50% races. Every Formula 1 driver is fast, but is the race winner really the fastest? So what's it like to be Carlos Sainz Jr, Daniel Ricciardo or Sebastian Vettel, racing for a team you'll be leaving - and not necessarily in the most amicable way? Are they still adjusted so that it is usually 1 or 2 stops?
In Formula 1, alongside taking title victories, pole positions and race wins, there is another way drivers can get themselves a place in the record book.Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas understandably have the track records for many of the circuits in use in 2020.The cars under the current regulations are considerably faster than many of their predecessors and Mercedes' dominance since 2014 has meant that Hamilton and Bottas have had more opportunities to set quick laps than most.The cars of the mid-2000s retained many of the records until the last couple of years, with the records for Melbourne and Shanghai still being held by the dominant force of the time, Michael Schumacher, despite the intervening years.The fastest lap of a race is not always set by the race winner, or even by one of the leading pack.Some 132 different drivers, including 12 of the competitors on the 2020 grid, have set the fastest lap of a race and, Schumacher aside, the top drivers don't tend to dominate in the same way they do for wins or pole positions.But having the fastest car is always helpful for such things, and that Schumacher and Hamilton top the record table shows the importance of having a championship-winning car's pace in setting fastest laps.Buy tickets to Formula 1 races with Autosport's preferred ticketing providerBuy tickets to races with Autosport's preferred ticketing providerIn the latest edition of the Autosport podcast, Alex Kalinauckas and Jonathan Noble preview the Formula 1 Belgian Grand PrixChoose from over 35 livestreams on Motorsport.tv this weekend - totalling almost 100 hours of live racing at your fingertipsNASCAR Heat 5's second Content Pack available from 27 August on Playstation, Xbox and PCIn the latest edition of the Autosport podcast, Alex Kalinauckas and Jonathan Noble preview the Formula 1 Belgian Grand PrixChoose from over 35 livestreams on Motorsport.tv this weekend - totalling almost 100 hours of live racing at your fingertipsNASCAR Heat 5's second Content Pack available from 27 August on Playstation, Xbox and PCLawrence Stroll is serious about building Aston Martin and Racing Point into strong competitors in their fields - and his signing of a key Mercedes executive has wider ramifications, says MARK GALLAGHERDeciding what to do after racing is a challenge for many racers, but a British Le Mans ace chose to get ahead of the game while his career was going strong. 58 laps, 307.574 km (191.118 mi) Attendance: 324,100 Pole position; Driver: Lewis Hamilton; Mercedes: Time: 1:20.486: Fastest lap; Driver: Valtteri Bottas: Mercedes: Time: 1:25.580 on lap 57: Podium; First: Valtteri Bottas; Mercedes: Second: Lewis Hamilton; Mercedes: Third: Max Verstappen; Red Bull Racing-Honda: Lap leaders.

Daniel Ricciardo says he relished Renault's straight-line speed at the Belgian GP as the in-form Australian secured fourth and a surprise fastest lap around Spa to highlight the team's podium-challenging threat.It was Ricciardo's second top-four finish in four F1 2020 races, and he was just 3s off Red Bull's Max Verstappen after stonking closing laps - the last of which sealing him Renault's first fastest lap since 2010. "We had a lot of pace," admitted Ricciardo, who is desperate to break Renault's podium drought before joining McLaren next year, to Sky F1.Ricciardo battled fairly through the opening few corners with Verstappen after starting behind his former team-mate on the second row, lunging down the inside into Les Combes, but after the Red Bull pulled away he was unlucky with the timing of the early Safety Car.Without cars between him and Max, Ricciardo feels a podium could have been on.
