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‘€

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.

๐ŸŸ McLaren's chances of winning the #F1 Constructor's Championship (last one was in 1998! with Hakkinen and Coulthard!) surged from 74% to 81.5% after Brazil: lead to Ferrari 29โžก๏ธ36pts, with one less race to go.

๐Ÿ”ดFerrari still has a 17% chance (1 in 6)
๐Ÿ”ตRBR only has a 1.5% chance (1 in 67!)

Chances before the first race:

WDC Winning Probability before each race weekend

Verstappen's 4th F1 title is closer and closer: by winning in Brazil against all odds, he reduced Norris' hopes from 23.4% to a tiny 3.8% (Data from @oddschecker)

Norris' best chance was before Austin: 38.4%

Sainz reached 366km/h during last yearโ€™s Las Vegas GP!๐Ÿคฏ

Tiny wingsโž•High altitudeโž•Long Straightโž•Frequent tows and DRSโžก๏ธMind-blowing top speeds!๐Ÿš€

And we could exceed that this year! (Monza quali, โ€˜24 vs โ€˜23: +1km/h Ferrari, +5 McL, +7 Merc)

DRY TO WET TOP SPEED DIFFERENCE (DRS vs NO DRS)

-31km/h Red Bull
-29 Haas
-28 Sauber
-26 Aston
-23 McL
-21 Alpine
-21 RacingBulls
-19 Merc
-19 Williams
-17 Ferrari

Largest loss for RedBull (bolted on a lot of downforce on Sunday, also didnโ€™t access Q3).

Smallest for Ferrari (similar wings between the two days).

Las Vegas Grand Prix Preview

The city circuit with the highest top speed (~350km/h in qualifying, >360km/h with a slipstream)

Just 10ยฐC track temperature forecasted: Tyre warm-up will be critical on quali!

Almost Monza-level wings.

The traction zones will wear the rear tyres.

Key to performance:
- Low drag
- Braking stability
- Good wear

Ferrari should perform well thereโ€ฆ as long as they can heat up the tyres!

Whatโ€™s your prediction? ๐Ÿค”

Interesting wing choices for Las Vegas GP!๐Ÿ’ก

Ferrari's:
โœ…Drag
โŒEven trickier warm-up (which Ferrari struggled with in China) in the cold weather

RBR/McL:
โœ…Excellent downforce (helping braking, cornering, traction, and possibly wear)
โŒStraight-line performance will suffer

Medium load: McL, RBR
Med-low: Aston
Low: Ferrari, Haas, Sauber
Lowest: Alpine, Williams

Verstappen: 'We have no grip' yet his grip was not terrible (0.43s slower than NOR in S2 but on Mediums); instead, his engine was turned way down!

Las Vegas GP TAKEAWAYS:
- McL's aero efficiency looks great
- Ferrari and Mercedes have better braking

Read on! ๐Ÿ‘‡

1) BEST SECTOR TIMES:
- Mercedes quickest in the diverse S1. Ferrari struggled.
- NOR was quickest by a margin in S2 (high downforce needed).
- SAI fastest in S3 thanks to a tow. Yet LEC was not far. RBR lost massively there (low power).

2) TOP SPEED:
Ferrari's top speed without the tow was 345km/h. McL was not only the fastest in the twisty S2, but their top speed was great, too!

3) GRIP (g-g):
Ferrari and Mercedes have superior braking; McL reached lower accelerations but maintained them for longer.

McL and Mercedes look good, and Ferrari should join them if they get the setup right.

RBR seems more distant: what's YOUR prediction? ๐Ÿค”
