Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur has explained why Ferrari – and the rest of the F1 paddock – will be judiciously looking for novel solutions to the problems posed by the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur is preparing for the challenges and unique demands of the Mexico City Grand Prix due to the altitude of the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. Following Ferrari’s success at the United States Grand Prix, Vasseur will explore alternative approaches to car setup, a common practice for races in Mexico. The Italian team aims to secure back-to-back wins for the first time since the British and Austrian Grands Prix in 2022. With a strong performance at the previous race, Ferrari is now just eight points behind Red Bull in the constructors’ championship and 40 points behind leaders McLaren. Vasseur believes that the positive momentum from the Circuit of the Americas will benefit the team in Mexico, although finding the right balance to handle the altitude challenges will be a complex task. Ferrari will focus on their own performance and attention to detail, expecting a closely contested battle with other top teams at the Mexico City Grand Prix.
