If anything, camber puts the tire on edge so less drag (like a more narrow tire).

One of the articles I read alluded to using this system as a way of getting heat into the tires - so if that was true, then, maybe they are
adding toe on the straight to increase the friction between the contact patch and the road.
What it PROBABLY is is a red herring to keep the other teams busy so they don't notice how they're REALLY cheating.
