Danish racer Frederik Vesti will replace George Russell in Mexico FP1 adding even more woes to his title campaign... or rather... making it very difficult to win the required last 5 races, to mathematically still win the title. Provided Antonelli doesn't score any more than 1 point in these races!

Three of the last seven winners started 3rd: Lewis Hamilton in 2019, Max Verstappen in 2021 and 2023. It's 830 metres from pole to the Turn 1 braking point, and a car sitting in the slipstream gets a long time to use it. Does pole even matter here? #F1 #Formula1 💃 #MexicanGP #MexicoGP 🌶 #MexicoCity

In #Mexico the track is located at about 2200 meters above sea level. According to a simulation, this impacts by about 2.5 seconds compared to the same track located at sea level. The air density indeed drops from about 1.225 kg/m³ to 0.944 kg/m³. 🟦 #F1 #Formula1 💃 #MexicanGP #MexicoGP 🌶 🧵⤵️

This change primarily impacts PU performance, putting teams with smaller turbos at a disadvantage, such as, as far as we know, Ferrari. Not only is drag reduced, but so is downforce. 🟦 #F1 #Formula1 💃 #MexicanGP #MexicoGP 🌶 #MexicoCity #Mexico 🦁 #MAXico 🌼 🧵⤵️

Compared to previous years, you'll be able to use Overtake-Mode, which helps a lot given the long straights. For this reason, the expectation is that the lap times will not be too far from last year's times. 🟦 #F1 #Formula1 💃 #MexicanGP #MexicoGP 🌶 #MexicoCity #Mexico via Davide Merotto
