Red Bull might have a radical cooling system for the Mexican GP, but McLaren is far from concerned.
McLaren team principal Andrea Stella has discussed the threat of Red Bull at the Mexico City Grand Prix after Red Bull introduced a new cooling system for the event, known for its high altitude.
The Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez is the highest circuit on Earth at 2,238 meters above sea level, putting strain on engines and brakes, often leading to failures.
Despite Red Bull’s new cooling system, Stella is confident in McLaren’s MCL39, which required minimal modifications due to its advanced cooling design implemented during the car’s development.
Stella emphasized that McLaren’s innovative cooling technology, present since the MCL25, is efficient even in Mexico’s thin and hot air, unlike traditional Mexico-specific cooling systems used by some teams.
McLaren’s strong performance in high temperatures can be attributed to their unique cooling approach, showcasing the effectiveness of their engineering team’s efforts.
