Spa laptimes seem bogus. A 430 is 9 seconds faster than a LaFerrari and only 1 second faster than a 918? Other laps show the very slight advantage of awd.

LaFerrari is much faster only on a straight line. It is more powerful, it is lighter than 918 but... Porsche is faster on track! 918 is unbelievable!
LaFerrari is the best way to show how Porsche is a masterpiece.
Ferrari management is terrified by 918... they denied to any of LaFerrari owners to make track comparisons against Porsche.

I Think That Power/weight ratio is Causing The Problem Here,I Think The LaFerrari is Faster.

The Porsche has AWD and has 4 wheel steering, hence helping it to sling out of corners faster, this is why on a power circuit like Silverstone the times are very close
