“We always look at the characteristics of the track,” said Eddolls. “And we do that every week, every event, but there are certain events where we come with let's say, a baseline setup that's a bit different to normal. So a Monaco, a Singapore, or Baku in particular.
“And here, and I guess over the years, it seems that the car mechanically is very good. So everyone's struggling with grip, so if you've got a good car, mechanically, that helps.
“And as I say, with our aero package here, yeah, we haven't quite got the efficiency of some of the others but for this track, we've got the load in the corners. And it does suit this this event but yeah, we do come here with some of this a bit standout.”
He added: “Just various things on the mechanical side, really, mainly on the mechanical side.”
Eddolls acknowledged that the Honda power unit is also very effective in Mexico.
“I think that the Honda engine does seem very strong, even at altitude,” he said. “I'm sure all teams are losing some performance compared to if we were racing this track at sea level but we're talking quite small numbers with Honda.
“I can't speak for others. But the Honda engine we know is strong, [and has] good drivability. And I think it manages these altitudes well.”
