The head of Pirelli’s racing department, Mario Isola, summarized the results of the Mexico City Grand Prix, which was won by current world champion Max Verstappen.
Mario Isola: “During the Formula 1 race in Mexico City, the atmosphere on the circuit is always great. This was the case today, despite the premature retirement of local crowd favorite Sergio Perez.
Speaking of tires, we saw how improved track conditions and higher temperatures led to the C4 compound being the most effective. This was especially evident after the restart, when the drivers who had opted for Medium were able to attack and the tire performance only deteriorated on the last lap, as was the case with Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris.
Max Verstappen’s superiority meant he could choose any pit stop strategy he wanted, and the introduction of the safety car helped him make his second pit stop without losing position, as his rivals had made their scheduled stops earlier. As is often the case with a rider who is in top form, luck comes his way.”
