Aston Martin knew before Mexico GP it would not finish, Honda brings new countermeasures

Ahead of the Mexico Grand Prix, Honda had already acknowledged that the race weekend at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez – at 2,286 metres above sea level, the highest circuit on the Formula 1 calendar – would be a considerable challenge.

At that point, the main concern was extreme turbo lag, which had already been a problem in Singapore, although Honda added that reliability would also come under pressure.
