How forecasts are made ↗The Austin lap
Track guide: Pirelli, 2025. Watch points are F1Fix interpretation.
Pirelli describes a lap mixing fast direction changes with technical corners and a need for straight-line speed. The setup has to work across all three demands.
What to watch
Watch the balance between fast-corner commitment and speed on the straights.
Austin’s fast corners put sideways loads through the tyres, making heat management important. A quick lap alone does not show how well a car can sustain a stint.
What to watch
Watch repeatable long-run pace as the tyres age, allowing for fuel and traffic.
