The Baku Undercut vs. Overcut Dynamics

Baku City Circuit features a punishing 2.2 km full-throttle straight along the Caspian Sea and tight 90-degree corners through the Old City walls. The undercut yields huge gains on fresh rubber (up to 1.8s per lap) because warmed tires fire up immediately on high-speed braking zones. However, cold out-lap graining can reverse the advantage if tire warm-up exceeds two sectors.

Safety Car & VSC Pit Stop Cheap Delta

Under normal green flag racing, a pit stop at Baku costs approximately 20.8 seconds from pit entry to pit exit. When a Safety Car or Virtual Safety Car is deployed, cars on track are capped by delta times (running ~40% slower), shrinking the net pit loss to just 12.0 to 13.5 seconds. Pitting inside a VSC window hands a driver an automatic ~8.5-second windfall.

Pirelli Compound Thermal Cliff Model

Soft (C5): Base delta -0.7s/lap vs Medium, cliff at Lap 15.
Medium (C4): Balanced baseline, steady deg (~0.075s/lap), ideal 18-24 lap window.
Hard (C3): Durable low-deg tire (~0.035s/lap), capable of 35+ laps, resilient to Baku's heavy traction demands.
