The aerodynamic load will not be required so much to navigate the bends, but more to allow the cars to bring the tires into the correct operating window , which will also cool down from one corner to the next given the little stress required by low speed corners. This detail could favor McLaren, very capable of bringing the tires to the window even before the substantial updates (as seen in Spain), Williams has also shown flashes of this characteristic, while Ferrari is among those who could struggle to bring the tires to the window in “non-ideal” conditions like those we will see.
Pirelli state that " the asphalt will be a mix between the city road surface , particularly on the Strip, and parts totally resurfaced for the occasion, thus adding a further unknown."
the rubberization of the asphalt will not be helped by support categories .
Throw in the temperatures, the lack of knowledge of the circuit, the peakiness of the C4 tyre..
Interestingly Duchessa and Perez have both said this weekend it will be important to "keep the tyres alive"
Duchessa:
The challenge will be to use the tires as 'as little as possible'. Many doubts about the aero config, the engineers will choose after free practice
Perez:
"... it will be very demanding to keep the tire alive throughout the lap, it does not allow for mistakes."
