2) This brings in a second point, with more power you can change trade that for more downforce and take the extra drag without penalty. So you can match an opponent's top speed and pack more downforce for even better cornering.
So overall the more powerful pu should be a factor that is non negligible.

So what we know is that Ham will have his Brazil PU in and from Q2 the setting for that will have to be used on the race together with that tyre choice.
