The tyres of an F1 car rounding Copse corner at 280 kph develop a lateral force equivalent to a centripetal acceleration of 4g
If the driver selected neutral, the car would start decelerate, in part due to an aerodynamic drag equivalent to about 0.7g
There would also be a mechanical 'drag' from the tyres (briefly) continuing 4g cornering (additional to the tyre's mechanical 'drag' ('rolling resistance') related to the car's weight)
What would be the value of this 'cornering mechanical drag' ?
From this what ratio of cornering forces would emerge to quantify the tyre's performance (equivalent to L/D ratio in aerodynamics) ?
