Formula 1 Gran Premio de la Cuidad De México 2024Formula 1

[Jimlaad43]

Formula 1 heads up the Mexican Altiplano for its annual high-altitude Headache. The Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez being at over 2000m of elevation sees the highest speeds of the year due to low drag and a long straight, all despite having the highest aero levels to try and get some air to grip the car to the floor. Track Limits were a big sticking point at the last race when it comes to overtaking, so the grassy runoffs will give us a different set of complaints if it comes to rudely shoving drivers off the track. Leclerc brought himself into the title fight with a win in Austin, but can he or Norris mount any kind of challenge to Verstappen in these last 5 races. Without a Max DNF, probably not but we'll find out at the MEXICO CITY GRAND PRIX!
