Mexican Grand Prix 2023 – Qualifying

Dave Robson, Head of Vehicle Performance: Despite only minor changes to the conditions and the setup, we had a very different performance between the two sessions. The performance was strong in FP3 but in Qualifying both drivers struggled to find the same level of grip that they had exploited in FP3. Added to the difficulties at the pit exit, Qualifying was much more difficult than we had hoped.

Mexican Grand Prix 2023 – Practice

Dave Robson, Head of Vehicle Performance: We had a very productive day and were able to test numerous options before the rain started in FP2. Our pace was very strong in FP1 with Alex immediately happy with the car balance. Whilst this was great to see, we fully expected the others to catch-up during FP2.

Mexican Grand Prix 2023 – Preview

United States Grand Prix 2023 – Sprint

Dave Robson, Head of Vehicle Performance: We had a much stronger day today. In contrast to yesterday, and perhaps helped by the mandated use of the Medium compound this morning, we were on the right side of the fine margins and Alex was able to progress through to the final stage of Sprint Shootout. Logan found it a little more difficult and couldn’t get the 2nd lap on the tyres in Sprint Shootout 1.
