What is aerodynamic efficiency?
Aerodynamic efficiency in F1 refers to how effectively a car can cut through the air while also generating downforce to keep it glued to the track. Mercedes' W17 car is designed to be more aerodynamically efficient than McLaren's MCL40. This means it experiences less drag and can maintain higher speeds, contributing to its superior performance on the track.
