P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Christian Horner has pointed towards the late Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz’s mantra of ‘no risk, no fun’ to explain their strategy choices at the Mexico City Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen was the first driver in the leading group to pit on Lap 20, following a two-stop strategy with two hard tyres. Red Bull went into the race with the belief that the compounds were softer this year. Despite losing track position, they felt confident they could regain it and win on a two-stop strategy. The race was neutralized by a red flag, and Red Bull was relieved to see Ferrari opt for hard tyres instead of mediums. The team praised their engineers for improving their starts, which had been a weak point for them this season. Max’s start at the restart was particularly impressive.
