Mekies said the specific characteristics of the Mexico City Grand Prix could alter the usual competitive picture, describing it as a potentially one-off situation. His comments framed the event as one whose unique demands may affect the order more than a typical race weekend.
At the same time, Red Bull provided an update on its new wind tunnel, with Mekies setting out when the team expects to begin using the facility. The project has been long awaited.
Autosport also noted that Red Bull's current wind tunnel is the oldest in Formula 1. It added that former team principal Christian Horner had previously referred to it as a "Cold War relic," underlining the limitations the team has been managing behind the scenes.
