Temperature Evolution
  • Aero Compromise: Drag vs Traction. High downforce preferred for T3/T13 stability.
  • Graining Risk: As track temperature drops (End: 37.7°C), soft tyres are prone to cold graining. Mediums are the safer race tyre.
  • Brake Wear: Heavy braking into T3 (300kph -> 90kph) requires high initial bite.

🛑 Brake Efficiency & Consistency

Brake Analysis

📈 Performance Distribution & Insights

  • Alpine (GAS) & Outlier Performance: Gasly demonstrates exceptionally high acceleration figures combined with strong top speed, suggesting a potentially aggressive engine mode or lower fuel load during his fast laps.
  • Red Bull (VER) Efficiency: Max Verstappen shows competitive top speeds but moderate average acceleration, characteristic of a highly efficient, low-drag setup that prioritizes straight-line maintenance over initial burst.
  • Braking Kings: Aston Martin (ALO) and Mercedes (HAM) exhibit the highest deceleration forces, indicating superior mechanical grip on entry and driver confidence in the braking zones.
  • Consistency: The bubble sizes in the Brake Analysis indicate that most top drivers are maintaining highly consistent braking pressure, with minimal variation lap-to-lap.
