How cold Las Vegas will test F1’s engineers
The upcoming F1 race in Las Vegas presents a unique challenge for teams due to the combination of low temperatures and the need to effectively manage the Pirelli compounds. The cold weather will impact overall car cooling and aero specifications, which differ significantly from recent races in Qatar and Mexico City. The extreme cold conditions pose a challenge for the modern hybrid V6 power units, as they are not designed to operate in such temperatures. The long main straight on The Strip will also pose challenges, potentially affecting the brakes and tires. Additionally, the nature of the newly laid track surface and any bumps present are unknown variables that teams must navigate. Teams are approaching this race with caution and preparedness, given the uncertainty of how the car will behave and the need to quickly adapt to any unforeseen circumstances.
