How F1’s top teams adapted their cars to Mexico’s unique demands
At the high altitude of 2285m in Mexico, teams like Red Bull and Ferrari had to make adjustments to their cars’ aerodynamics and cooling systems to cope with the challenges posed by the rarified air. Red Bull added an additional louvred panel to the right-hand sidepod bodywork to control the airflow. Ferrari switched to a brake disc with more drill holes to dissipate the heat more effectively and maintain optimal temperatures. They also enhanced their cooling system with additional outlets and louvres in strategic places on the car. McLaren also made changes to their MCL60, enlarging the rear outlet and introducing a revised front brake duct scoop to improve cooling. Additionally, McLaren ran a different run programme in free practice one to test their tyre distribution.
