You can be in the first position in the race but the min. total race time & the best lap times are being posted by the player in the 2nd position. Check & compare the lap times between you & the first once the race finishes. So how are they posting a better race time without passing the first place car, given that they started at the same time? It doesn't matter where you start on the grid to set a good lap time or in the case of opponents, the best lap & race times. That is a fact.

If you know to exploit & use the strengths of your car, mitigate the weaknesses, nail the apexes and diligently use both orthodox & unorthodox racing lines around the track, you can post some great lap times. Players get most of them correct because they have either mastered it or comes naturally to them. This is the reason why Ricciardo sets the fastest laps while still in 10th position or in the case of the latest Blancpain GT3 (where BoP is in effect) at Silverstone, the #1 R8 LMS (7th position when running) setting faster laps than #76 Aston which was in the lead the entire race.
