22 paź 2019 · The air in Mexico City will be approximately 25% less dense than that of a sea-level circuit such as, say, Bahrain. It will have around a quarter fewer air molecules in it. This has serious implications upon both the aerodynamic and engine performance of the car.
At 2,285 metres above sea level, there is around 25% less air density compared to at sea level and therefore a quarter less oxygen. When you think about an F1 car, there are many crucial factors that ensure it operates correctly, three of which are: aerodynamics, cooling and the Power Unit.
7 lis 2021 · The Mexico City Grand Prix venue is the highest altitude circuit on the Formula 1 calendar, so technical experts Sam Collins and Craig Scarborough explain just how that will affect the cars and teams this weekend. Lying more than 2,200 metres above sea level, Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez is very high.
This equation is why some cars perform better at certain types of track than others, and why it’s impossible to build a car that’s tailor made for every single grand prix.
