REAR WINGS - Chinese GP
Similar choices across the grid (medium-load wings)➡️Each car's inherent drag and downforce will be more evident! 💡
Ferrari is using a rear wing much more similar to McLaren's 👀(instead of a more loaded one as in Australia).
Remember that the FIA is introducing much stricter tests in China to test wing flexibility❗️(which should hurt some teams more than others).

CHINESE GP SPRINT QUALI DATA
Let's analyse Lewis Hamilton's first pole in red!
1) AERO ANALYSIS:
- 🔴🔵Ferrari/RedBull: high efficiency (high downforce, low drag);
- 🟢Mercedes: lowest drag;
- 🟠McL: Highest downforce;
- 🟣Alpine/⚪️Haas: highest drag.
2) MINISECTORS:
HAM/VER's +5km/h higher top speed made them gain on PIA on all the straights (who recovered in the fast corners).
3) GAP TO IDEAL LAP:
A McL P1-P4 finish was possible, but they couldn't combine their best sectors!

CHINESE GP - PRACTICE 1 | LONG RUNS:
Ferrari didn't do any➡️an issue for the Sprint?
Everyone used Mediums: McL and Mercedes were quickest (Excluding ALO/OCO who did just 3 valid laps). Mercedes' degradation was high.
VER was slowest: RBR used very low PU modes and a lot of fuel (slow in the fast corners).

CHINESE GP SPRINT PACE💡
1) 🔴HAM
2) 🟠PIA +0.27s/lap
3) 🟢RUS +0.46
4) 🔴LEC +0.47
5) 🔵VER +0.50
Ferrari's excellent tyre management helped HAM in his dominant win.
Qualifying (and Sprint Qualifying best sectors) showed that McL (and maybe Mercedes) are quicker, yet they wear their tyres more.
An exciting race ahead!

Fastest one-stopper:

2) 🟢Merc/RUS +0.22s/lap
3) 🔵RBR/VER +0.26
4) 🔴Ferrari/LEC +0.41 (damage)
5) ⚪️Haas/OCO +0.79
McL was unbeatable: PIA was still quicker than HAM despite using one less set of tyres!
HAM's pace at the end was not enough to recover the time lost pitting.
Ferrari lost the pace advantage they had in the Sprint.
Haas' pace was great!
What's YOUR take? 🤔

Norris was lucky not to retire due to his critical brake issue! 😳
The issue started on Lap 54 and became critical on Lap 55. 🚨
NOR:
- Lifted 180m (!) sooner;
- Braked sooner but also less, to avoid temperature spikes;
- Lost up to 2g of braking performance and almost 4s/lap!
Norris noticed the issue at the start of Lap 54, and his race engineer confirmed it from the data. The latter then told him on Lap 55 that the had worsened and was then ‘critical’.
He finished the race just 1.3s in front of RUS (gap was 9s just 3 laps before).

CHINESE GP - TOP SPEED PER LAP
The two Ferrari drivers reached the highest top speeds in the race, as in Australia!🚀
Yet, in both events their quali top speed was modest: how?🤔
Telemetry reveals that Ferrari's ERS deployment favors the higher gears, sacrificing a bit of laptime to limit tyre wear and to attack/defend better.

There are several reasons why early deployment is better for laptime (and that’s why it’s used in quali):
1) The earlier you deploy, the sooner you gain speed, and the longer you use that speed before the braking point.
2) Drag is quadratic with speed: gaining the same speed at lower speeds causes a smaller drag penalty.
3) Kinetic energy is quadratic with speed, or speed follows the square root of kinetic energy: adding the same kinetic energy to the car will make its speed increase more if the speed is low.
4) The same speed increase constitutes a larger relative (percentual) speed increase if the speed is low.

CHINESE GP - RACE START ANALYSIS
Tsunoda was quickest off the line! 🚀
0.3s quicker to reach 200km/h than his new teammate Verstappen (OCO was slower than TSU until 200km/h, when he matched him).
Very different throttle use: linear/progressive for TSU, abrupt for VER.💡
The two Alpines were slowest off the line.🚨

BEST QUALI LAP ANALYSIS
🟠PIA got pole, yet wasn't the best in any metric: his lap was consistent and mistake-free!👌
🟢RUS lifted the foot JUST before the finish line!😬Fortunately, the time loss was minimal.
🔵VER: Best aero efficiency (as in Australia)✈️
- Highest top speed (336)➡️Lowest Drag;
- Fastest in T7 (275, didn't lift!)➡️Highest Downforce.
🔴HAM:
- Just 2km/h slower at the end vs start of the lap (best/balanced deployment🔋);
- Struggled to put the power down (just 55.7% of the time spent full throttle).
Who will get pole in Japan? 👀
