• Downforce vs drag optimization at this circuit โ€” the numbers

    High-downforce setup costs approximately 12-15km/h on the straight. Low-downforce gains that straight speed back but loses 0.3-0.4s in the technical sector. At this specific circuit the break-even point historically favors low-downforce by 0.08s per lap overall. Teams that bring high-downforce packages here are making a trade.
