Sepang surface over four seconds slower than Pirelli F1 simulations
Original: Why extremely rough Sepang was over four seconds slower than Pirelli's F1 simulations
Pirelli's simulations for the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia suggested lap times more than four seconds faster than those actually achievable, with the extremely rough and bumpy track surface blamed for the huge shortfall. The gap highlights how much the deteriorating asphalt is costing Formula 1 cars in performance, raising fresh questions about the state of the circuit ahead of the Malaysian Grand Prix.
Why now: Attention on Sepang's deteriorating, bumpy surface and its major impact on Formula 1 lap times ahead of the Malaysian Grand Prix.
