Interesting wing choices for Las Vegas GP!💡
Ferrari's:
✅Drag
❌Even trickier warm-up (which Ferrari struggled with in China) in the cold weather
RBR/McL:
✅Excellent downforce (helping braking, cornering, traction, and possibly wear)
❌Straight-line performance will suffer
Medium load: McL, RBR
Med-low: Aston
Low: Ferrari, Haas, Sauber
Lowest: Alpine, Williams

Verstappen: 'We have no grip' yet his grip was not terrible (0.43s slower than NOR in S2 but on Mediums); instead, his engine was turned way down!
Las Vegas GP TAKEAWAYS:
- McL's aero efficiency looks great
- Ferrari and Mercedes have better braking
Read on! 👇
1) BEST SECTOR TIMES:
- Mercedes quickest in the diverse S1. Ferrari struggled.
- NOR was quickest by a margin in S2 (high downforce needed).
- SAI fastest in S3 thanks to a tow. Yet LEC was not far. RBR lost massively there (low power).
2) TOP SPEED:
Ferrari's top speed without the tow was 345km/h. McL was not only the fastest in the twisty S2, but their top speed was great, too!
3) GRIP (g-g):
Ferrari and Mercedes have superior braking; McL reached lower accelerations but maintained them for longer.
McL and Mercedes look good, and Ferrari should join them if they get the setup right.
RBR seems more distant: what's YOUR prediction? 🤔

RedBull's bad straight-line performance is mostly due to the engine, as they start losing speed very early on the straight (where drag matters little)
Still, their 'saw-off' wing is a budget-friendly, suboptimal option

VER lost over *8 TENTHS* to NOR on the straights... but only part of that is due to their sub-optimal wing!😳
❌Turns 4 and 12: VER's exit was good, yet he starts losing immediately➡️Detuned engine.
❌The inefficient wing then hurts him more and more as the speed (and drag) grows.
Red Bull will turn up the engine come quali, but the cost-saving trimmed wing is hurting them more than expected (and that cannot be solved)!
Check out my profile for many analyses on the Las Vegas GP! 🏎
*Note for the nerds:
We can say that RBR had less power and also more drag because the 'gap' increases linearly. If it simply had more drag, the gap would only increase at high speed. If it simply had less power, the gap would increase less at high speed. RBR had both.

Las Vegas GP: FP2 LONG RUNS
10 drivers within 1s of the fastest! (🟠PIA) ➡️ Different fuel loads/engine modes obfuscate the pecking order
Despite being slow in FP2's quali simulation, 🔵RedBull was quick in the long runs (normally it's the opposite)
🟣Alpine's pace looks solid!

In the race that crowned Verstappen 4x WDC, his former rival impressed the most: Lewis Hamilton was just 0.02s/lap slower than RUS (who managed a bit) despite being stuck in traffic!
Car Pace (faster driver only)
🥇Merc
🥈Ferrari +0.15s/lap
🥉RBR +0.24s/lap
4️⃣ McL +0.43s/lap
Tyre deg was much higher than expected: on Mediums Ferrari's deg in particular was incredibly high (and Mercedes and partly RBR were miles ahead of them).
On Hards Ferrari got the better hand on RBR and matched Mercedes.
GAS was quick, while OCO struggled.
TSU almost matched PER!

No matter who you are or the compound you're running: there's always a Mercedes faster than you!🔥
Their pace advantage declined from a mind-blowing 0.66s/lap to 0.06s/lap as the fuel load dropped💡
Las Vegas' cold weather suited Mercedes: if only it were more consistent!😬

Unbelievable: the slipstream made Gasly's Alpine self-destruct!💥(Not his fault)
⚫️Lap 13 (Reference)
🟣Lap 14 (Failure)
He got a strong tow from TSU, reaching 361km/h under DRS: the engine reached 12937rpm in 8th gear, then exploded! (Speed dropping, no power afterwards)
The gear ratios are fixed for all tracks: Alpine's last gear is short, and the engine couldn't resist the resulting high rpm (and the hot air from TSU's car didn't help either)

Albon reached 369km/h during the #LasVegasGP: higher than any other driver this season! (Equalling Vettel's 2019 Monza top speed in the 'godly-engined' SF90).
He reached 13194rpm in 8th gear: 257rpm more than Gasly before his engine gave out.
He later retired (3rd race in a row).

Red Bull's VERY detuned engine, and not the 'cut' wing, hurt their FP2 straight-line performance the most💡

💡Wings For Qatar GP (Tyre-killer track!)
Teams opted for medium-high load wings:
-Downforce is crucial for cornering performance and to manage the tyres
-Drag is not as impactful, but if excessive it impairs ability to attack/defend
Most loaded: ⚪️Haas
Least loaded: 🔴Ferrari?
Sauber seems to be on a similar level to Haas, too.
