<![CDATA[Miami GP chassis setup analysis: they sacrificed mid-speed corner efficiency, not tyres]]>Everyone's calling it a tyre issue but look at the onboard steering angle — they're trading mid-corner efficiency for high-speed stability. That's a setup decision, not a tyre-management failure.

Miami's high-speed sections account for over 40% of the lap. With an elevated rake angle, mid-corner turn-in response lags roughly 0.08s, which costs around 0.15-0.2s per lap.

The tyre strategy masked this trade-off, but the setup choice was defensible for the overall lap. Don't attribute the last-stint degradation to a management failure when it's by design.

The beam wing geometry is different from their 2025 spec. There's more curvature in the lower element. Related to what you're describing.
