I have to say I struggle to believe that he was beating other guys on full dry setup and similar road position by 2 s/km or more.

There are probably some extra differences which M-Sport doesn't mention. Like soft vs medium compound or even intermedium tires (dunno if that's possible to use in ERC now).
