Due to the high altitude at the Mexico City Grand Prix, teams are focusing on cooling requirements. The Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez is situated over 7,200 feet above sea level, creating challenges with air density for cooling and downforce. Eight teams, including Red Bull, Ferrari, Alpine, McLaren, Haas, AlphaTauri, and Williams, have made changes to adapt their cars. These changes include enlarging frontal cooling louvers, extending louvers along the engine cover, revising engine cover geometry, adding larger front brake duct scoops, and increasing the size of engine cover exits. Alfa Romeo has submitted a new rear brake duct to improve the aerodynamic efficiency of the car and generate downforce in conjunction with the introduced floor in Austin.
