Challenges and Controversies Surrounding F1's Las Vegas Grand Prix
The upcoming Formula 1 race in Las Vegas presents unique challenges for teams due to the unusually low temperatures. Engineers must ensure the Pirelli compounds work effectively and manage overall car cooling, which will impact aero specifications. The new track surface and potential bumps add to the unknowns. Tyre management will be crucial, as teams need to find the operating window for optimal performance. Adjusting car cooling and downforce levels will be a balancing act, but designing new parts for one race is a luxury under the cost cap.
