Interlagos is usually light on brakes, so conserving momentum is important.Set-up for Interlagos tends to be a compromise: there's a long uphill straight towards the start-finish line, which puts the emphasis on speed and power (a challenge for the engines due to the altitude of Interlagos as well) but the more twisty infield section requires more downforce. The final sector of the lap is the most crucial one for the overall time.Technical notes: The different surface variations mean that generating optimal grip and downforce is vital, particularly as there are a number of...
