Aerodynamics:
Go for a balanced setup, leaning towards medium–high downforce for both stability and straight-line pace.
Transmission:
Use a lower on-throttle differential to improve traction out of corners.
Suspension:
Softer rear suspension with a responsive front anti-roll bar helps rotation and exit grip in slower sections.
Brakes:
Prioritise the heavy braking zone into the hairpin – shifting bias slightly forward gives more control.
Tyres:
Since China tends to overheat tyres, adjust pressures to keep them in the right window.
Use smooth steering and throttle inputs – aggressive driving costs lap time.
Short-shift on exits to control wheelspin and improve traction.
Carry momentum through medium-speed sections, especially the esses.
Prioritise a strong exit from Turn 13, as it sets up your speed for the long back straight.
Manage tyres carefully, since the track can cause overheating in slow traction zones.
Use ERS on the back straight for maximum top speed and overtaking chances.
