Circuit Demands
Power sensitivityⓘHow much raw engine output (ICE + ERS) determines lap time here. Measured by percentage of lap spent at full throttle and length of DRS straights. Monza leads at 97 — cars are flat-out for ~73% of the lap. Monaco sits at 40 where engine power is largely irrelevant.70
Downforce requirementⓘHow much aerodynamic downforce is needed for optimal lap time. High at slow, twisty circuits where cornering grip is the primary lap time differentiator (Monaco=96, Singapore=93). Low at power circuits where teams strip downforce for straight-line speed (Monza=28).73
Mechanical gripⓘImportance of suspension tuning, tyre warm-up speed, and kerb-riding ability. Particularly critical at street circuits and tracks with many slow-speed corners where mechanical traction out of hairpins and chicanes decides sector times.75
Top speed importanceⓘHow critical straight-line trap speed is to race competitiveness. High at circuits with long DRS activation zones and slipstream opportunities. At Monza (98), Baku (95), and Las Vegas (95), top speed directly determines overtaking opportunities and qualifying lap time.70
Tyre managementⓘCircuit surface abrasion and thermal degradation sensitivity. Derived from historical compound choices, observed pit stop frequencies, and asphalt composition data. Qatar (93) and Bahrain (88) top the scale — their abrasive surfaces cause extreme tyre wear that can define entire race strategies.65
