If there is instability in the aero map, then it could mean that the tire is prone to sliding after corner entry because the downforce is at first high, then weakens too much beyond critical steer angle, roll angle, yaw angle, ground clearance.Andi76 wrote: ↑21 Mar 2023, 13:37
What the aerodynamic concept has nothing to do with, however, is tire degradation as someone here speculates. Too little downforce - okay. But the aero concept itself - how is that possible? This possibility does not open up to me and will probably remain a mystery that not even he himself can answer.
You had a previous discussion about tire contact frequency. Ferrari still seems to exhibit a low-grade porpoising. It may not be visible to the eye, but a cyclical loading at the tire contact patch due to very minor amounts of the porpoising, will also cause excessive tire wear. Mercedes pointed this out last season. No one is bouncing as dramatically as last season of course, but if there is a very small amplitude, it could be damaging the tire due to "slippage" .
