Mitch Evans topped the second practice session for the Mexico City E-Prix, showing a strong performance for Jaguar. However, Evans and his teammate Nick Cassidy, as well as DS Penske’s Stoffel Vandoorne, received one-place grid penalties due to red flag infringements in Friday’s first practice. Despite the cooler temperatures, lap times were quicker in FP2, indicating the rubbered-in track and driver familiarity. Maximillian Guenther of Maserati MSG finished second, followed by Robin Frijns of Jaguar customer Envision Racing in third. Other notable performances came from Oliver Rowland, Jean-Eric Vergne, and reigning champion Jake Dennis. Sam Bird, Lucas di Grassi, and Antonio Felix da Costa had a tougher session, finishing lower in the field. Norman Nato, Nico Mueller, Jehan Daruvala, Edoardo Mortara, Sergio Sette Camara, and Nyck de Vries completed the grid.
