The upgrades Formula 1 teams have brought to the Mexican Grand Prix are focused on the cooling demands for the high-altitude circuit, with Ferrari perhaps the most interesting example given its struggles in Mexico last year
Formula 1 teams have brought upgrades to the Mexican Grand Prix focused on cooling demands due to the high-altitude circuit. Ferrari, which struggled in Mexico last year, has added cockpit louvres and cooling exit gurneys to extend engine cooling capacity. Last year, Ferrari had to run with a lower power unit package due to temperature management issues, as the smaller turbo had to work harder at higher altitude. The Mexico City circuit’s altitude reduces air density and cooling effect, and also decreases downforce levels. Ferrari is confident that this year’s package will perform better. Other teams like Red Bull, Alpine, McLaren, Haas, AlphaTauri, and Williams have also made cooling modifications for the race.
