What the altitude does
Mexico City sits at well over 2,000 metres, and the thin air there changes how the cars behave: there is less grip from the wings, less air to cool the brakes and the power units, and the cars run their highest downforce settings yet still slide around. The last part of the lap snakes through a baseball stadium, so the drivers pass right in front of grandstands packed with home fans.
