Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, Friday, 27 October

Hear from McLaren Formula 1 drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, and Team Principal Andrea Stella after practice for the Mexico City Grand Prix.

“A good start to the weekend, it’s close. We’ll continue to try and improve but it’s a good start. I think we generally do start the weekend off well. We always have a good idea where to put the car to begin with, and normally it’s not far off from where we end up, so there’s not a lot to gain through the weekend. However, there’s always little things we can improve and work on, and those things do add up. So, a couple of bits still to improve, but we’re off to a good start and can build from here.” 

“It was a good first day here in Mexico City. The track is very low grip and that takes a lot of getting used to, but it seems cool. I feel like I’ve built up through the day and we had a reasonable FP2 session. There are still a few things to tidy up and find tomorrow but it’s looking reasonably good.” 

“It’s been a productive first day in Mexico City. We had no issues across either session, which meant we could work on set-up, tyres and cooling. Overall, our performance looks encouraging, however it seems many teams have the potential to be competitive here. We will do our best, adapt to the conditions and hopefully secure good starting positions tomorrow for Sunday’s Grand Prix.”
