A good start to the season for DS Penske
DS Penske arrived at the Hermanos Rodriguez circuit in Mexico City fully prepared and motivated after successful simulator sessions. Stoffel Vandoorne expressed confidence in the team’s hard work and progress during their first season with Gen3. The unique conditions of the circuit, located at an altitude of 2,200 meters, with fluctuating temperatures and lower oxygen levels, presented additional challenges. During practice and qualifying, Vandoorne and Jean-Eric Vergne showed strong performances, with Vandoorne reaching the quarter-finals and Vergne finishing in sixth place. Both drivers demonstrated their adaptability and strategic skills during the race. Vandoorne’s collaboration with his new engineer, Kyle Wilson-Clarke, also yielded positive results. The team now looks forward to the next races in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
