๐Ÿ’กMAIN CHANGES (vs 2023) #BrazilianGP More performance: ~Softer compounds (C2-C4โžก๏ธC3-C5) Less performance: ~0.25deg less camber (Front: 3.25โžก๏ธ3deg; Rear: 2โžก๏ธ1.75deg) ~1psi (0.07bar) higher minimum pressure (Front: 23โžก๏ธ24psi, Rear: 21โžก๏ธ22psi) The medium-โ€ฆ
Sรฃo Paulo Rear Wings:

๐Ÿ’กMcLaren has a new wing:
- the lower plane is the most shallow of any teamโžก๏ธlow drag;
- the upper plane is one of the most loadedโžก๏ธhigh downforce.
Likely target: maximum DRS effectiveness! ๐ŸŽฏ

Higher load: Aston/Alpine
Medium load: McL/RBR/Merc/Ferrari
Lower load: Williams/RacingB

๐Ÿ“ŠSPRINT QUALIFYING DATA

๐ŸŸ  McLaren's new wing finally reduced their drag - but their downforce was still excellent!
๐Ÿ”ด Leclerc's exit from T12 was excellent, but they now have a top speed deficit (-3km/h) vs McL
๐Ÿ”ต Verstappen: excellent braking;
โšช๏ธ Bearman: highest top speed

1) BEST SECTOR TIMES:
McL dominated Sectors 1 (where Ferrari struggled) and 2 (Excellent downforce with the new wing)!
LEC and BEA quicker than PIA in S3 (where VER struggled).
The quickest Aston lost 1.17s to a Haas in Sector 2 alone!

2) TOP SPEEDS:
Haas on top: 333km/h
McL, RBR: 331
Ferrari, Mercedes: 328

3) MINISECTORS (PIA vs VER vs LEC):
PIA dominated the lap up to T4, but VER and LEC were quicker after that.
VER's braking was excellent.

Game on for the Sprint! ๐Ÿคฉ

TOP SPEEDS AND GAP TO NORRIS - SPRINT

๐ŸŸ McL: highest drag with the DRS closed (Just 322km/h for PIA).
๐Ÿ”ดFerrari: highest drag with the DRS open ('Just' 338km/h for LEC with DRS + tow).
โฌ‡๏ธ
McL's new rear wing made their DRS very effective!

โšซ๏ธHAM: 355km/h during his recovery drive.

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.

How Lando Norris lost to GeorgeRussell at the start?๐Ÿ‘‡

1) Too much throttle at ~50km/h
2) Rear tyres spun (rpm increased quickly)
3) The wheelspin reduced their gripโžก๏ธAcceleration got worse
4) To compensate, he could not go full-throttle
5) Less power โžก๏ธ Less acceleration

Notice that the acceleration (the slope of the โ€˜Speedโ€™ graph) increases over time: the faster the car is going, the more downforce it produces, the more grip it has, and the more quickly it can gain speed!

Verstappen brilliantly won after starting P17, yet his top speed was far from stellar: only 8th fastest๐Ÿ’ก
He probably ran a more loaded wing than PER.

Ferrari and Mercedes were quickest in the speed trap (on average), particularly SAI and HAM.

Sauber's drag was off the charts!

In the dry (SQ3), RedBull was quickest at Turn 6 (232km/h) by a good margin! (+8km/h vs 2nd best - Ferrari)โžก๏ธStill unmatched high-speed downforce.

McL was quickest in the rain (158km/h); RBR slowest! (152km/h, -80km/h vs in the dry).

The laps are from the same session (Q2, before the red flag)โžก๏ธsame track conditions.

The red flag timing hurt VER, yet the car underperformed in qualifying.
(Race-focused setup? Low tyre temp?)

Who will win in Las Vegas? ๐Ÿ‘€
๐Ÿ‘2โœ1
A very cool comparison of the size of many famous racetracks: Las Vegas is HUGE! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

The main straight is 500m longer than Monza's... including the 'Parabolica' corner!

MCL38: an extremely grippy and versatile car, with a wide setup window (enabling it to be competitive everywhere... but dominant only in the absence of very long straights).

Medium-speed corners (like in Zandvoort) suit the car best, but slower and faster corners pose no problem.

SF-24: Its low drag and excellent traction and braking properties make it very competitive in fast and stop-and-go tracks.

Tyre wear has been very solid (The best area of improvement compared to last year).

Fast corners remain a weakness even after they fixed the bouncing.

RB20: Still the best performance in high-speed corners, despite the troublesome development.

Excellent aero efficiency (High downforce, moderate drag).

Faces problems in traction, braking, and in the slow corners.

Tyre wear has been inferior to McL and Ferrari on average.

๐Ÿ”ดFerrari still has a 17% chance (1 in 6)
