fastest lap
Track time record
The fastest lap is the quickest completed circuit by any driver during a race, tracked as a distinct achievement in motorsport.
In Formula 1 and other racing series, setting the fastest lap earns recognition and sometimes championship points: Hamilton took the fastest lap on the final circuit.
The term also applies to personal bests in time trials or practice sessions.
