Tactical Notes
Technical circuit with high-downforce requirements and significant tyre degradation. Aerodynamic efficiency and mechanical grip are key. Overtaking is difficult, making strategy and pit-stop timing critical differentiators.
Strategy Notes
Strategy is often the primary differentiator. One-stop is baseline but degradation can force two stops. Track position is valuable so the undercut is powerful. Tyre choice at each stop is crucial.
