Max Verstappen’s F1 title bid boosted by Red Bull upgrades for Mexico City GP
Red Bull have introduced several adjustments to the RB21 for the Mexico City Grand Prix. Max Verstappen is closing in on the F1 title chase after winning three of the last four races, and is now only 40 points behind Oscar Piastri with five rounds left. The team’s upgrades at the Italian Grand Prix have boosted their performance, leading to victories in Monza and Baku. Despite initial skepticism about Red Bull’s dominance on low-downforce tracks, such as Monza and Baku, Verstappen finished second in Singapore and claimed pole position at COTA. Red Bull is aiming to sustain Verstappen’s success with further modifications for the upcoming race weekend in Mexico City. The team’s recent changes focus on enhancing downforce and improving lap times, with specific adjustments to the floor body and edge wing of the RB21. Other teams, including Ferrari, Alpine, Racing Bulls, Williams, and Sauber, have also made cooling-related modifications to their cars in preparation for the challenging conditions at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez circuit.
