The Albert Park Circuit, due to its "semi-street" reconstruction, places more emphasis on cornering speed in medium-high speed corners, often adopting a medium-high downforce setup, usually slightly higher than the Bahrain Sakhir Circuit.
However, considering the understeering characteristics of the TF110 car, and to avoid excessive downforce putting great pressure on the rear wheels, Chen Xiangbei, together with the strategy group, decided that the car setup would be slightly lower than usual.
It's akin to changing from a medium-high downforce setup to a medium downforce setup.
This time, the initial setup direction before the practice session was set according to the experience from the Bahrain Grand Prix.
The result was completely unexpected as the car's characteristics reversed entirely, with the rear sliding and tail spinning!
Facing Chen Xiangbei's feedback and onboard footage, the strategy group members in the pits wore expressions of surprise.
