Frequently asked questions
How is a qualifying simulation different from actual qualifying?
It is a practice-session run designed to reproduce conditions similar to qualifying. Teams use it to assess the car's one-lap performance, often with a relatively low fuel load and tyres prepared for a fast lap.
Why do teams run qualifying simulations in practice?
They allow teams to evaluate one-lap pace and tyre preparation before qualifying and determine whether setup adjustments are required.
