Tracks like Silverstone require a middle ground on the aero, needing both front and rear downforce to be at a reasonable balance to allow for traction at low speed and front grip at high speed. Tyre temperatures can be hard to hold, and you need to regain some grip from the lost downforce, so don’t be afraid to have a higher pressure on the tyres.

Mechanically (suspensions, roll bars, etc) You need a decent level of rotation but also traction, so be sure to play around with roll bars and suspension until you find a balance that provides a good compromise. It’s better to do this and manage temperatures than to not have the grip in the first place.įirstly, being happy with the downforce balance (the difference between front and rear) is important. On F1 2021, the tyre pressure not only affects temperature and tyre characteristics but also the grip balance.Īt the rear, running high values, if not maximum, is recommended to offer premium rear grip. You can use higher brake bias to help the balance of the car if needed, but 50% is very common. This one is very simple! Run 100% on brake pressure and in almost all situations use 50% on the brake bias. The rear usually isn’t lower than around the 6 mark, so keep the front low and the rear around the middle and find the ideal values you like for each condition and track you visit. Running the front as low as 1 is good as long as the car isn’t too ‘on the nose’ and pulling the car around. There have been varying styles over the years of what ride height is best on the F1 game, but on F1 2021 it is a bit more in a single direction. Sometimes stiffer isn’t always better, however, so be careful you don’t use any unnecessary clicks if you don’t have to as this will hurt the rear end. The rear however you can get aggressive, you can use stiff rear roll bar for rotation/rear end response in loaded situations if you are able to handle the increased snappiness of the car.
