2024 Mexico City Grand Prix Preview

Sven Smeets, Sporting Director: We are looking forward to racing in Mexico this weekend. This unique track with its incredible arena and passionate fans always delivers surprises and a great race. As we return to a normal race weekend format, we will be focusing on improving our performance on the Soft compound as we struggled on it last weekend. The high altitude will bring its own challenges and with the battle in the midfield being tight every millisecond will count to be able to be in the fight for points.

Alex Albon: After a tough weekend, I’m looking forward to jumping straight back in the car in Mexico this week and seeing how the car performs around this unique circuit, which has always been a track with a lot of unpredictability for our car. We’re back to a normal race weekend format, so we’ll build up during the Free Practice sessions and if we can address some of our issues, we will get more performance out of it. The fans are always passionate here, so I’m looking forward to a good weekend.

Franco Colapinto: I’m excited to be racing in Mexico this weekend. I can’t wait to see the incredible support from the fans once again. Reflecting on Austin it’s clear that there’s very little separating the teams in the midfield. The circuit’s high altitude will prove a unique challenge in comparison to others with trying to get the most out of the car. Going back to the normal race weekend format allows me to focus on building up throughout the sessions ahead of Qualifying. We’ll try our best as a team to be in the fight for points.
