"After the team's strategy meeting last night, we decided to implement a medium downforce tuning scheme, using the hardest suspension and a relatively high chassis height to gain tail speed advantage on high-speed sections."
When it comes to familiarity with high-level formula racing at Suzuka Circuit, Sawano Hiroyuki is undoubtedly much stronger than Chen Xiangbei.
His nearly twenty-year professional career has spent at least half of it at Suzuka Circuit.
This is unlike Alonso, who runs a Grand Prix once a year over a decade; Sawano Hiroyuki can come and run two laps at Suzuka Circuit anytime, anywhere, which is the huge advantage of being an absolute local driver!
Suzuka itself is a high-speed track, especially with the F1's fastest corner, the 130R bend.
If you want to be fast through corners, then the aerodynamic downforce must be strong. Normally, Suzuka Circuit opts for a medium to high downforce tuning scheme.
