Where am I losing time in F1 25?

Feel it on the next corner, not the next day

The Delta window sits over the game: just the lap delta, big, with a ±1 s bar — against your best lap, or against your last one when you're working on consistency. On the dash (overlay or phone), a braking chip lights up after each braking zone and tells you, in metres, whether you braked earlier or later than on your best lap.

When the flag falls, the voice race engineer reads out your braking habit if there's one — the zone where you keep overshooting or braking early, and in how many laps.

The Debrief points at the corners. The telemetry shows why.

At the chequered flag Pacedex writes your Debrief. Its Homework lists the parts of the track where you lose the most, what each is worth per lap and what to do about it — and the next time you race that track, it checks whether you fixed it. In a race the reference is the fastest car out there; in practice it's your own best lap at the track.

Then open Analysis → Telemetry. Pick lap A and lap B and you get the cumulative time delta over the lap distance, speed, throttle and brake, and gear — overlaid. The delta climbs exactly where the time goes, and the corner where you lose most is one click away. You can lay a rival's lap from the same race over yours, too. Drag across any chart to zoom into a section and the bar says how much lap A gains or loses right there.

Racing under the 2026 rules? Battery & time (in the same Telemetry screen) compares any two completed laps from any car in the session and draws on the map where each one deploys and harvests the battery — and where the time is gained or lost, corner by corner. Sometimes the "slow corner" is really an empty battery on the straight after it.

Where the fast drivers beat you — and how

Your own best lap only takes you so far. In Analysis → Rivals, Corner by corner against the fastest puts your best lap of the race against the median of the 5 best dry laps on the Pacedex leaderboard at that track. The corners come from where the fast drivers brake. Each one gets the time you leave there and the cause, in numbers:
