Red Bull and Ferrari are bringing similar upgrades to the F1 Mexico City Grand Prix that are track-specific.
In order to achieve sufficient cooling in the lower atmospheric pressure of Mexico City, the forward exit louvres on the right side of the car have been enlarged. This update extends the top end of the engine cooling capacity with additional cockpit louvres and cooling exit gurneys specific to the requirements of the Mexico City circuit. The deeper mid louvres provide higher maximum cooling levels due to the high altitude and air density. To further improve cooling, a bigger coke panel exit and a revised engine cover geometry have been implemented. In terms of aerodynamics, a larger Front Brake Scoop has been designed to increase Front Brake Cooling capacity, while a redesigned rear brake duct works in conjunction with the floor to improve aerodynamic efficiency and generate downforce. The modification of the front brake duct geometry allows engineers to adjust brake cooling based on aerodynamic forces. Additionally, there are new louvers options available for the Bodywork and Engine cover, and a larger engine cover with a bigger rear centerline exit is available if required.
