F1 25 Qatar Red Bull Race Setup

Setup Notes

*This setup has lower downforce compared to other setups one might find for this track. We are intentionally sacrificing a bit of cornering speed and tyre wear in order to maintain a higher pace and flow troughtout the entire race.
** The setup is focused around a strong stint on the medium compound tyres. When swithing to the hard compound tyres, increase front wing aero by +2.
*** For better one-lap pace, increase front and rear wing aero by +6.

Race Tips:
- Very deep braking into turn 1. Focus on getting early on the throttle and use the entire width of the track upon corner exit.
- Turns 2 and 3 are flat out with the correct amount of front downforce.
- Turn 4 can be taken faster than you think, so be brave here but do not sacrifice the entrance into turn 5.
- You are better of taking an alternative racing line into the hairpin of turn 6. Unlike what is the optimal racing line (and what the AI does), an alternative racing line will yield a better exit with higher pace. A lot of time to be gained here if braking is nailed correctly.
- Early on the throttle out of turn 7, leading into turns 8 and 9, both flat out.
- Again, focus on a fast corner exit through turn 10 as the following turns of 11-14 are flat out (with a possible downshift into turn 14).
- Turn 15 is a quick downshift and a slight tap on the brakes. Careful not to exceed track limits on corner exit.
- Turn 16 can be taken in various ways, but focus on the early throttle and do not ride the outside exit kerbs for too long.
