Formula 1 continues with their tour of the 'West', returning to the fan-favorite Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City.

This race is home to some of the most dedicated fans, exciting culture, and intense racing on the back half of the F1 calendar, but what's the track is really known for? Being 7,350 ft (2,240m) above sea level.

The pressure difference with the elevation of Mexico City — which affects driver breathing —being much higher than the rest of the tracks, is something that the F1 drivers all train for in the week leading up to their time on track. Therefore, as opposed to hot weather this week, the F1 grid will have to prepare their bodies for this change.

This is coupled by the fact that nine drivers will not take part in FP1 due to reserve drivers taking on their allotted time in Formula 1 cars during the season.

Last year, this track proved extremely strong for the Ferrari duo of Carlos Sainz (now Williams) and Charles Leclerc, who finished in 1st and 3rd, respectively — split by the McLaren of Lando Norris. Red Bull's Max Verstappen finished in 6th.

With the Championship Standings tied up to just 40 points separating McLaren's Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris, and Red Bull's Max Verstappen, this is sure to be another exciting race for the fans.
