Question: Approximately how does lap-time depend on ambient temperature in F1?
Post Body
I was just wondering about this. I'm aware that colder air is denser, which increases downforce (and drag) and can increase engine power. I'm also aware that changes in track surface temperature can change tyre performance.
Is anyone aware of some rough numbers on this? What is the expected lap-time difference for an F1 car at the same track between say 10°C, 20°C, and 30°C? Even just a ballpark figure would be interesting. Are we talking a difference of a few tenths or a few seconds?
