Bottom post of the previous page:

Ayrton had to drive a dork of a car, that is why he had to overdrive the car. Combine this with a not fully legal Benetton and you can do the math.

I see, ok, thanks, the video I showed you talk about using worn tyres in the last pit stop, anyway.

And what is the significance of that? Back then it was rare for a brand spanking new set of tyres to be put onto a car at a pit stop. The norm then was to bed a set of tyres in during practice as that would increase their optimum performance during a race.

To quote myself to you @LaraCroft2016

What else are you looking for here? Both myself and Everso have explained more than once what happened in the pit stop and Ayrton's subsequent over-driving. Maybe I'm missing something with the question you're asking and the information you're looking for.
