Here’s how the weekend weather could shape the championship battle at the 2025 Mexico GP: between high altitude, technical uncertainties, and hopes of redemption.
Ferrari is ready to hit the track at one of the most captivating circuits on the calendar. The 2025 Mexico GP is set to welcome fans for another thrilling weekend, but as often happens, weather conditions could still change the dynamics of the race.
The Formula 1 circus never stops, and after the Texas leg in Austin, it heads to Mexico City for the Grand Prix at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. The Mexican track, however, has a dual nature. Loved by fans for the passionate crowd, it is feared by teams for the unique technical challenges it presents. For Ferrari, this circuit carries symbolic weight. A year ago, the team scored its last victory here, a memory that still fuels hopes of returning to the top step of the podium.
Which team will benefit from Mexico’s unique conditions?
High temperatures and thin air make this race a true test for engines and aerodynamics. With the championship entering a decisive phase and Oscar Piastri still leading the standings, closely pursued by Lando Norris and a recovering Max Verstappen, every detail will matter. In this scenario, even the weather can become a crucial factor. The upcoming days in Mexico City are expected to offer generally stable conditions, yet they will not be without challenges.

On Saturday, the sun is expected to assert itself more strongly during the third practice session and qualifying. Temperatures will rise, and a moderate breeze will provide stable conditions, perfect for teams pushing to the limit and fine-tuning their car setups.
Sunday, October 26
