Teams face a different challenge in Mexico City this weekend with FP2 effectively taken away
Formula 1 practice at non-sprint weekends is a well-known format - teams have an hour in both FP1 and FP2 on Fridays and then a third 60-minute session on Saturday before qualifying. But second practice at the Mexico City Grand Prix will take on a different format as Pirelli conducts a vital test ahead of its 2025 tyre compound homologation. The change mirrors the one made for last year's event, where the Italian manufacturer trialled a prototype C4 compound ahead of the current campaign.
Data from the test will be analysed before the post-season group tyre test, which will take place at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. With what is essentially only two hours of running to gather race-representative data, teams will face a similar engineering challenge to that of a sprint weekend, albeit with slight respite from the extra practice session before parc ferme is locked in.
