At work simulating the various scenarios: from this year at least two stops in the pits are mandatory to make the race between the streets of the Principality “crazy”
This year the Munich GP has an extra peculiarity that differentiates it from all the other GPs but also by itself, as for the first time the FIA has introduced the obligation of at least two pit stops to try to move the race that is almost always resolved in a long serpentone of cars that reaches the finish practically in the same starting order established by the qualifications result. In any case, it is a modification that the teams must keep in the primary consideration, as it determines a greater variability of the race strategies. In essence, he expands the range of the possibilities of choice by teams.
Ferrari simulator
–
The preparation of Ferrari at this appointment, as usual, has seen a wide use of the simulator with numerous iterations, but it is interesting to consider that in the context of the race simulations, therefore not linked to the performance on the dry qualifying lap, crucial on this route, the remote garage was also used, in fact simulating the possible race scenarios in relation to the determination of the possible windows within which to carry out the two mandatory pits. It is in fact important to evaluate different scenarios, in relation to traffic on the track which, considering the reduced length of the route becomes a substantial discriminant, on a strategic level. A double work, therefore, that carried out in Maranello in the preparatory phase, not only aimed at determining the most effective setup base for this track with an aerodynamic configuration characterized by a high aerodynamic load produced with flaps incidences that cannot be found elsewhere during the season.
Scenarios in Munich
–
The strategic simulation of the various running scenarios, in fact, based on a precise re -proposition of the possible choices made by the individual teams, with a random (random) distribution of the stops, in the temporal windows linked to the degradation of the tires of each of the mixes available, in fact it should allow the Ferrari wall to implement consolidated procedures, different for each racing scenario at the level of traffic and conditions of the track. In essence, a sort of real exercise which, however, seems correct to reiterate it, only in part replaces the intuition of the moment based on the analysis of the data in real time. The F1, nowadays, is also this, to foresee every possible scenario in order to respond without uncertainty.
