F1 2011 Fuel level during setup

[dazzadp]

What fuel level would you recommend during setting up the car?

I run 100% race distance.

Im thinking 50% fuel to give an average load or should the level be different for setting each area of the car?

ie: Ride height? Does max fuel weigh the car down?

If i set the ride height at 50% fuel, during the early stage of the race the car might bottom out!

What I tend to do is set my car up for ultimate pace, so when working out exactly how you want the car to handle, have only 5 laps of fuel on board.

Once you have the basic set up sorted out for max speed, I then do a long run on full fuel load to work out where I need to brake and what speeds I can carry through corners on the first lap. That also gives me an idea of how many laps I can do on the options before they start to fall away.

I always run stiff springs, 11/11, so don't bottom out on full fuel unless the track is wet.

Hope that helps.
