Rough Sepang surface ran four seconds off Pirelli's F1 simulations
Original: Why extremely rough Sepang was over four seconds slower than Pirelli's F1 simulations https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news
Pirelli's simulations for Formula 1's Sepang circuit proved badly off the mark, with the extremely rough Malaysian track running over four seconds slower than predicted. The discrepancy has drawn attention ahead of F1's return to Sepang, raising questions about tyre preparation and what the battered surface means for lap times and race strategy.
Why now: F1 is preparing to return to Sepang and the huge gap between predicted and actual track conditions is striking
