Russell points to Ferrari turbo edge in Mexico
George Russell said Ferrari could have an advantage at the Mexican Grand Prix because of its turbo design. The high-altitude conditions in Mexico City create unusual engineering demands, while Charles Leclerc said Mercedes still has the best car overall.
George Russell said Ferrari may hold an advantage at the Mexican Grand Prix, identifying the team’s turbo design as a key factor. His comments focused on how that could matter at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
The Mexico City circuit sits around 2250 metres above sea level, making it one of the most distinctive engineering tests on the Formula 1 calendar. The thinner air reduces aerodynamic performance and changes the demands placed on the cars.
While Russell highlighted Ferrari as a potential beneficiary of those conditions, Charles Leclerc said he still believes Mercedes has the best car wherever the championship goes.
