Max Verstappen Takes New Engine Ahead of Mexican Grand Prix

Max Verstappen switches to a new engine for the Mexican Grand Prix after Red Bull identified mechanical issues during practice.

Max Verstappen is heading into the Mexican Grand Prix with a replaced engine, a decision made by Red Bull following mechanical issues during FP1 and FP2. The Mexican Grand Prix, held at Mexico City's Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, presents unique challenges due to its high altitude.While driving in FP1, the Dutch champion told his engineer that he could hear abnormal noises from his Honda engine and reported a concerning loss of power towards the end of the session.

Despite the immediate solution of changing the engine, there remains uncertainty regarding the longevity and reliability of Verstappen's remaining power units for the season's remaining five races. The speculation is rife that an additional engine change might become necessary. Should this situation arise, introducing a new engine at the Brazilian Grand Prix might be the best idea.
