F1, Max Verstappen wins the pole position of the Miami GP ahead of Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari. The qualifications that took place yesterday did not respect the classic tactical outline. The track of You love me it was quite difficult for the engineers to interpret, with the 45 degree asphalt not allowing it step final evolution to the performance of the pilots. In the last lap push there were many errors by various drivers, due to a track that was not predictable at all
Apart from this, team Of F1 as McLaren And Mercedes they tried to bring out their own performance in the Q3 giving it a try with medium tyre. The reason is linked to the fact that, according to these teams, the harder compound allowed less slip. This attempt, however, was not enough to improve the lap time from the W15 and of MCL38with the pilots having carried out theirs best lap time with the softest compound in run following. A tactic that seemed like it might work but in reality took away the pilots’ confidence.
F1, Ferrari stabilizes the aero platform in the fast medium
Taking into analysis the graph relating to the average speed at the apex of the curves, we notice that in changes of direction McLaren it is the fastest. The two pilots exploit the set-up pointing and it is the grip mechanical at the front, generated by the suspension pull rod. Norris it is also faster than its companion, as it features the complete update package. Always slow, Leclerc show one performance similar to the pilots of team Of Wokingalthough the tires were not properly in the window T2. Monegasque who maintains an average top speed higher than the duo Red Bull also in turns 5 and 8, preferring the entrance to the curve over the exit.
Mercedes he was in difficulty in 8th due to the tyres, which were unable to guarantee the car’s performance after the short stretch of support due to the excessive energy put into the compounds. Furthermore we can notice how Red Bull, compared to Friday, has changed its approach in the general management of the curves. Lower speeds than opponents are not a sign of weakness, but rather the desire to sacrifice corner entry to better prepare exit traction and gain more on the straight lines.
F1, Ferrari maintains the same level of load thinking about the race
The graph relating to DRShighlights similar management with respect to the qualification of F1 Sprint as regards the hybrid part. The choice made is to maximize the hybrid thrust in the second section with the mobile wing open. In turn 11 Hulkenberg And Perez they have the highest speeds. Haas has a more unloaded car that allows drivers to reach higher peaks. The two Ferrari they have the same one EOSS I respect the F1 Sprint. The red team’s technicians decided not to change the aerodynamic load. Because of this Leclerc obtains the same reference, while Sainz it is 3 km faster thanks to a trail.
In turn 17, where all the drivers increased their maximum speed, the standard bearers Ferrari show similar performance to Red Bull. The “two Carlo” exploited a DRS efficient which allows it a speed delta of 44 km/h. McLaren instead it pays for an endemic resistance to the advancement of its cars, a problem that has been dragging on since last year and on which they are trying to intervene to improve efficiency. The two MCL38in fact, are the slowest among the top team. Finally, in the bottom section of the graph, we see how Red Bull And Haas on average they obtain better references in the tuition, while Ferrari, Mercedes And McLaren they are slightly slower.
