After Red Bull managed to survive scares and claim US Grand Prix victory, will the champions prove their mastery in Mexico or could it finally be ‘Hammer Time’ for Mercedes again?
Aside from the 2020 season, the Mexico City race has been ever-present on the schedule since 2015, and one of Max Verstappen’s most successful venues. The Dutchman has taken four wins in the last five events here, and will be on the hunt for three Mexican Grand Prix wins in a row. The effects of airflow on the cars will be reduced, and the thinner air means that cars will have less aerodynamic drag. However, the reduced air density will also mean that cars will not be able to produce the same levels of downforce as they would at other tracks.
Teams will have fewer bumps to contend with compared to the Austin track, meaning teams should be able to run their cars lower to the ground and try to eke out every bit of underfloor performance possible from the downforce-starved track. The Red Bull, however, has worked incredibly well at a variety of circuit configurations, but appeared to be hampered by the bumpiness of the COTA circuit at the previous race. Fewer bumps at the Mexican circuit should allow Red Bull to extract as much performance as possible from their mighty floor.
