• Tire Strategy: High tire wear—strategic tire management is key, particularly in the hot Miami conditions.

• Braking & Cooling: Heavy braking zones into Turn 11 and Turn 17 mean strong brake cooling is crucial, especially during high-speed cornering.

• Weather Factors: Hot and humid conditions typical of Miami’s climate, putting stress on tire degradation and engine cooling systems.

• DRS Zones: Two key DRS zones, primarily on the main straight and back straight, provide excellent overtaking opportunities.
