Mexico is a smooth track. They don't have to run higher. In fact, Merc might run even lower than COTA in Mexico. When we said Merc was running low, we just meant "lower than others", but COTA still requires higher ride heights due to the amount of bumps.
Merc will be cautious thats for certain. They wont want to get caught out for a second week. (same for Ferrari)
Even W13 could run slammed to the ground at Mexico 22chrisc90 wrote: ↑23 Oct 2023, 20:18Merc will be cautious thats for certain. They wont want to get caught out for a second week. (same for Ferrari)
Again, be interesting to see where the upgrades put them and whether the likes of RB dont need to run a monster truck stance to cover the bumps in the track.
The question here is....how many cars will just go straight? Under the current rule set if they just go straight they win much more than the 5sec penalty you will get.
Relative to the teams that ran legal set-ups their car should be higher, though in absolute terms everyone could be lower.
