Frequently asked questions
Why does F1 car setup change from race to race?
Each circuit has different straight lengths, corner characteristics, track surfaces and weather, so the optimum downforce, suspension and ride-height settings also change.
Can team-mates use different setups in the same car?
Yes. Even with the same basic car, drivers can use different detailed settings because their driving styles and preferred balance may differ.
