Formula 1 heads to Miami this week for another Sprint race, marking the first showdown of the year on the American continent.
Formula 1 heads to Miami this week for another Sprint race, marking the first showdown of the year on the American continent, and one that could come with a few problems for Mercedes .
Miami GP features three DRS zones, and most overtaking manoeuvres are expected to occur within them, primarily before entering T11 and T17. Another significant factor is track evolution, which is quite high with lap times constantly decreasing, particularly noticeable during qualifying. It will be crucial for teams to decide when to send their drivers out onto the track, keeping in mind that everyone aims to go out as late as possible.
We mentioned that Mercedes will struggle with the rear end in Miami, confirmed by the medium-high load. The lower plane of the rear wing is very deep, and we can already argue that Mercedes won’t have good maximum speeds on the straights. Whether they can compensate for their deficit elsewhere on the track remains to be seen.
