The #1 driver takes a near-flawless lap. They brake at the very last possible second into corners, any later and they would crash/lose grip. Then they accelerate as soon as possible, out of the corner. They hold and maintain this through every turn. Of course, being human, they're not perfect, therefore, it's a near-flawless lap.

You may think you are running flawless laps, and while it may look like you are doing it correct (sticking to the racing lines), with a 6 second difference i'd suspect you are braking too early and accelerating out too late.

Race their ghosts, you'll see all their tricks. (Watch a ghost of someone who uses chase cam, those ghosts show brake lights)
