The next destination on the Formula 1 calendar is Mexico City, where the race will be held at the circuit named after the Rodriguez brothers. The available tyre options for this race include the C3 as Hard, C4 as Medium, and C5 as Soft, offering teams more strategic flexibility.
During the first day of track action, a special session will focus on testing the softer compounds in Pirelli’s 2025 range. This session will provide valuable data for teams to make decisions on tyre strategy for the race weekend. Additionally, each driver will have two extra sets of tyres for testing purposes.
The Hermanos Rodriguez track features 17 corners and a smooth surface that is gentle on tyres. The high altitude of Mexico City impacts car performance, affecting aerodynamic downforce and tyre temperatures on the long straights. Despite the challenges, the track typically results in high-speed racing.
In terms of strategy, the Mexican Grand Prix is usually a one-stop race, with drivers aiming to manage tyre wear effectively. The race has a rich history in Formula 1, with various winners and memorable moments over the years.
Max Verstappen holds the record for the most wins at this circuit, while teams like Red Bull and Lotus have also seen success here. With an enthusiastic fan base and unpredictable races, the Mexican Grand Prix remains a highlight on the F1 calendar.
