The abrasive surface and high track temperatures of the Bahrain International Circuit make tire management, particularly for the rear tires, the central strategic challenge. The traction-heavy layout with its slow corners followed by long straights puts immense thermal load on the rear axle. A differential setup that allows for more rotation on corner entry can help preserve the front tires, but it places even greater stress on the rears and requires precise driver input to avoid snap oversteer. To combat this, we focus on a technique called 'lift and coast' into heavy braking zones like Turn 1 and Turn 10. This reduces the load on the rears before the intense braking phase. Furthermore, a less aggressive throttle map on corner exit can prevent wheelspin, which is a major contributor to thermal degradation. It's a delicate balance between pushing for lap time and preserving the tires for a longer stint, and the teams that master this often have a significant strategic advantage in the race.
