Tips & Tricks
Correctly handling the tricky corners in Mexico City can make the difference as your drivers battle the high-altitude racing.
- One stop pit strategies are viable in Mexico, but this late in the season your car may be beginning to show some serious signs of wear. If a mechanical failure rears its head, be prepared to make an unscheduled stop.
- A DRS zone right off the bat in Sector 1 might see some very early battles, so you’ll need to be on your best form from the start.
- While pit times are relatively long, a late race change to softs could offer a high risk, high reward return if you need to push into the points.
