FP2 - F1 DATA HIGHLIGHTS

πŸ”΄SAI was 0.178s quicker than 🟠PIA, but McL's engine mode was clearly lower! 😏

1) TOP SPEEDS:
Ferrari: 352km/h... and it's still FP2!
+5km/h vs RedBull, +9km/h vs McL

2) BEST SECTORS:
In fact, SAI/LEC were quickest in S1 (two long straights)
McL dominated the slow S3

3) Sainz vs Piastri:
SAI's higher engine power is clear as day: he gained significantly through all the straights.
Once McL turns up the power, they should be on par or quicker than Ferrari. πŸ”₯

Sainz beat Verstappen by 0.225s by gaining significantly from Turn 3 to 6 - and not losing his advantage afterwards πŸ”₯

SAI: +1km/h top speed on the main straight; +4km/h on the next one πŸš€

VER used III gear in T4, while SAI downshifted to II

VER took T9 full-throttle!

Piastri reached 361km/h in the #MexicoGP  ! He had frequent slipstreams and DRS opportunities during his recovery drive

Mercedes’ top speed was very high, too: 359km/h for HAM and RUS

Ferrari had the lowest one: SAI used the DRS on the main straight just once, overtaking VER!

πŸ’‘MAIN CHANGES (vs 2023) #BrazilianGP

More performance:
~Softer compounds (C2-C4➑️C3-C5)

Less performance:
~0.25deg less camber (Front: 3.25➑️3deg; Rear: 2➑️1.75deg)
~1psi (0.07bar) higher minimum pressure (Front: 23➑️24psi, Rear: 21➑️22psi)

The medium- and high-speed corners should suit @McLarenF1

- the upper plane is one of the most loaded➑️high downforce.
Likely target: maximum DRS effectiveness! 🎯

πŸ“ŠSPRINT QUALIFYING DATA

TOP SPEEDS AND GAP TO NORRIS - SPRINT

🟠McL: highest drag with the DRS closed (Just 322km/h for PIA).
πŸ”΄Ferrari: highest drag with the DRS open ('Just' 338km/h for LEC with DRS + tow).
⬇️

RACE PACE

VER's masterpiece (winning from P17) through sheer pace crushed NOR's title hopes (62 points back with 3 races left).

He averaged 0.19s/lap quicker than RUS and 0.30s/lap quicker than NOR with one less tyre set!

Alpine impressed: OCO was faster than LEC stopping once less.
