From the Driver’s Seat:
Matt DiBenedetto: “Phoenix is one of my favorite tracks on the circuit. Restarts will be extremely important and will also be one of the best opportunities for teams to make up spots during the race. There’s a lot of pressure on pit crews as well for trying to get track position back on pit road. This new aero package will present challenges in traffic since you lean on the right-front tire a lot at Phoenix and being stuck back in dirty air is also really tough. Qualifying will be super important as well to get a nice clean lap to start up front, so I’m looking forward to seeing how things play out this weekend with this package at our first one-mile track of the season.”
From the Pit Box:
Mike Wheeler: “Phoenix will be another new challenge this year as it will be the first short track with the new aero package, as well as a new tire combination. Phoenix is fast enough and flat enough that aero is a large contributor to speed and handling, so working with the new aero package with require a lot of changes. Equally, we won’t really be drafting at Phoenix like we’ve seen at recent intermediate tracks, so passing may become a chore. The track itself is a bit unique in the fact that the turns are quite a bit different from each other as there is a flatter sweeping corner in Turns 1 and 2 with a more banked corner in Turns 3 and 4. Having a car that can roll both corners with a higher minimum speed is a challenge, but doing so creates a good race car. Pitting for tires have become a bit more important as the track ages each year, but you have been able to work on different pit strategies to help your game in the past, and I’m sure this year will be a new question when it comes to the new tire and the new package.”
