Oscar Piastri: McLaren handled Mexico altitude “better than I was expecting”

McLaren driver Oscar Piastri walks away from FP2 in Mexico City's circuit with optimism as he confirms his car coped better with the high altitude than he expected it to. This comes despite the driver having a "pretty messy" qualifying simulation.

The Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez circuit sits more than 2,200 metres above sea level. The thin air leaves teams running with very little downforce and poor cooling, making it one of the most challenging weekends of the calendar.
