MACARENA WING ANALYSIS F1

Its effect on top speed is likely small, and it didn't fix Ferrari's straight-line deficit (they need a more powerful engine for that).

🟦 RedBull's and 🟥 Ferrari's top speed gap in Miami was no smaller than in the previous GPs: differences in aero setup and deployment strategy likely matter more than the new wing.

Two additional notes:
• 🟧 McL deployed very little energy at high speed in Japan;
• HAM's top speed in Miami was 6 km/h lower than LEC's: partly explained by his bodywork damage?


Top Speeds calculated as the 90th percentile when the car was >1s behind the car ahead (to remove slipstream/overtake mode effects).
