MEXICO CITY GP | TYRES & TRACK PREVIEW

🇲🇽 Mexico’s 2285m altitude cuts air density by 20.7% vs sea level ➡️ analogous drop in downforce, drag, cooling, and engine air intake!

Keys to performance:
✅ Being able to bolt on downforce (efficiently if possible);
✅ Strong cooling capability;
✅ Large turbocharger, which can spin faster to burn the 100kg/h fuel flow.

Teams will run Monaco-like wings… yet reach speeds above Monza’s!

Compounds: C2 / C4 / C5.

McLaren’s main weakness (high drag) will matter less here!
