Few questions on new format keith:
first of all “fuel use per lap” has been updated from 2.5 to 2.7, why? (0.2 is almost 10% more )
second: what does “tyre energy” means? and why use only 3 grades?
third: time loss for each (or 10) fuel Kg could be an useful information too, don’t you think?
thx

What I find interesting is that drivers will be able to deploy their KERS on the first of the back to back straights, and then for the next straight will be able to deploy their KERS again since the next lap starts halfway through the 2nd straight. Red Bull might have their hands full if they do not use KERS during the race..

There is overtaking into turns 4 and 9 as well.

Because Turn 14 leads onto the long straight, a bad run through it means that you can be overtaken fairly easily into 15 so its essential that you dont make any mistakes through it.

The map shows Turn 14 as a critical point. But I cannot remember a single overtaking in that corner. All overtaking is done in Turn 1 and Turn 15.
