Mexico and some clouds for Mercedes. Then, whether these bring rain or not, we’ll find out on Sunday. Team principal Toto Wolff believes that Red Bull is the all-time favorite for the Hermanos Rodriguez Autodrome Grand Prix, despite Chris Horner’s team having won only twice in five editions (2017, 2018) compared to Brackley’s three (2015, 2016, 2019) .
In light of the recent achievements and improvements to the car, Valtteri Bottas doesn’t see it so black. Of course, the high altitude will be a factor that will help Red Bull (Advisor Helmut Marko himself says so). But to what extent? The Finn, betrothed to Alfa Romeo, believes that Mercedes has learned from past defeats and arrives at the circuit with an optimized engine: “We know that Mexico has been a weak spot for us, however I think we have improved a lot over the years. AND we have optimized performance of the power unit, so I expect a better Mercedes than in recent years“.
“On paper, Red Bull is still very strong on this track, but we have prepared well. Obviously it won’t be easy, but in Formula 1 there is never anything simple“, Concluded Bottas, who hopes to finally be able to give his contribution without penalty on the grid, as happened in three of the last four Grands Prix for the replacement of elements of the power unit.
