Length of 8th Gear per Team and PU

Rules allow max fuel flow starting from 10500rpm --> peak power around here as friction increases above that.

At 10500rpm, McL is travelling at just 288 km/h... Audi? 319km/h!

Possible implications of this 31km/h (10%!) difference:
- McL expects a low top speed due to high drag in Straight Mode and/or plans little deployment at high speed. Additionally, the Mercedes engine might remain close to its peak power well above 10500rpm.
- Audi expects a high top speed, its PU loses a lot of power above 10500, and plans to have a more balanced ERS deployment between medium and high speeds. Due to the very long gear, they'll likely have to downshift at full throttle once the clipping starts!

The three Ferrari-Powered teams share the same ratio. Same for Red Bull/Racing Bulls, and Alpine/Williams.

F1 teams are allowed to change ratios just once throughout the season.

[Calculation approach: median (rpm/speed) ratio using all the laps from Day 3]
