P1racenews AI automatic summary:
The Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez is one of Max Verstappen’s best tracks in F1 – but why is this so?
Max Verstappen has a strong chance of breaking a Formula 1 record at the Mexico City Grand Prix for the second consecutive year. Last year, he surpassed Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel’s record of 13 wins by claiming his 14th win of the season. He now has the opportunity to secure his 16th win of the season and extend his own 2022 record of 15 wins. Verstappen is a strong contender to win in Mexico, having only been defeated once since 2017. The high altitude in Mexico City allows Red Bull’s chassis to excel, compensating for their previous disadvantage in terms of engine power against Mercedes. The lower air density at the circuit enables the turbochargers to work harder and increases the effectiveness of Red Bull’s power unit. Additionally, the reduced drag allows for increased downforce.
