At the 2024 Mexico Grand Prix at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, Carlos Sainz was crowned with a time of 1:17.699. This weekend, fans are witnessing the race where 'Checo' Pérez is trying to leave behind his bad experiences at the 2023 Mexico GP and improve his streak during the current season.
Saturday's events began with free practice 3, giving drivers the opportunity to test their cars and adjust strategies. Subsequently, the qualifying for the Mexico GP took place to determine the starting grid for the Sunday race, expecting the presence of a large number of spectators, as in 2023, when more than 400,000 people attended.
The day's activities included multiple on-track events, such as the Super Copa Roshfrans GTM and F4, as well as the third and final free practice of Formula 1, where 'Checo' Pérez sought to fine-tune details for the qualifying on the same day. Testing and challenges on the track continue relentlessly in Mexico.
On the previous practice day, 'Checo' Pérez and Pato O’Ward participated actively, with 'Checo' being one of the main attractions. However, the sessions did not yield the expected results. During Saturday's qualifying, the Mexican Red Bull driver is looking for new opportunities to stand out.
The Mexico GP is more than just a Formula 1 race. Coinciding with festivities like the Day of the Dead, it turns into a great cultural and social celebration, known as 'F1ESTA'. With activities for fans, car exhibitions, and a festive atmosphere, the event has become one of the most anticipated of the season.
In summary, Carlos Sainz leads in Mexico, 'Checo' Pérez seeks redemption, and the festive atmosphere of the Mexico GP is felt in every corner of the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.
