Verstappen: The track in Mexico should suit our car.

      Red Bull Racing are determined to continue their run of strong performances at the Mexico City round, especially since the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez should suit the RB21.

      Max Verstappen: “In the last few races we’ve had a very strong momentum and intend to keep attacking, getting everything out of the car. The team is working hard to make that happen.

      We now need to be perfect across every day of the race weekends to be in contention for the championship, so it’s important to hit the ground running in Mexico.

      This track should suit our car, and the task is to find an effective approach to the tires and achieve the required level of grip. Of course, the high altitude of the circuit brings particular challenges, as the air density in Mexico City is lower, and that will affect everyone.

      But the city always has a festive atmosphere, and it’s great that this two-race stretch finishes there.”

      Yuki Tsunoda: “Arriving in Mexico City, I’m ready to fight for points again. After the Austin round I spent a nice few days in Los Angeles, where I had never been before.

      In California I trained at the Red Bull Athlete Performance Center, a great training facility, and that helped me maintain excellent physical condition during a period when the schedule is very tight and the races come one after another. We even played basketball, although I’m not sure I should swap racing for that sport!

      The weekend in Austin was very positive; in both races I showed what I’m capable of behind the wheel of this car. I felt confident on long stints and was generally consistent. Now I need to get straight to work so I can keep performing at that level and also put effort into improving my qualifying results.

      My goal is to have a consistent upcoming weekend, and if I can do that I’ll have the opportunity to score more points for the team and move closer to the group of leaders where we should be.”
