Ideal conditions await drivers and teams in Mexico

The weather forecast ahead of the Mexico City Grand Prix weekend promises favorable conditions across all three days of running at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.

Meteorologists expect temperatures to hover around 25°C throughout the weekend, with clear skies predicted for Saturday and Sunday. Friday could see some cloud cover, but the risk of rain remains minimal at just 5% during the afternoon hours. Wind is also unlikely to cause issues, with light northerly breezes reaching a maximum of 8 km/h across all three days.

These stable conditions will prove a welcome boost for teams as they look to fine-tune their car setups across three 60-minute free practice sessions—a task far tougher than it sounds in Mexico. The extreme altitude of over 2,200 meters poses a unique engineering challenge, with the air being roughly 25% thinner compared to sea level.
