McLaren Debuts New Floor in Mexico City
McLaren has brought a significant performance upgrade to the Mexico City Grand Prix, focusing on a revised floor design. This update, which will be utilized by Lando Norris from FP2 onwards, aims to increase aerodynamic load across various driving conditions.
Key Upgrades Across the Grid
While McLaren's floor update is a notable development, other teams have also implemented circuit-specific modifications to optimize performance in the high-altitude conditions of Mexico City.
- RB: Has introduced revised floor fences and edges to enhance aerodynamic efficiency. Additionally, the team has enlarged cooling outlets on the engine cover and implemented cooling louvers to manage thermal loads.
- Ferrari: Has added extra cooling louvers to its bodywork to optimize engine cooling.
- Williams: Will be testing a new beam wing designed to improve the drag range in the thin air of Mexico City.
Teams Opting for Minor Tweaks
Several teams have chosen to forego major upgrades for this weekend, focusing instead on fine-tuning their existing packages. Mercedes, Aston Martin, Alpine, Stake, and Haas have not submitted any new parts for the Mexican Grand Prix.
