Fornaroli set for third McLaren FP1 outing of 2026 in Mexico City

McLaren reserve driver Leonardo Fornaroli will take part in first practice at the Mexico City Grand Prix on Friday, 30 October, for his third FP1 appearance of 2026. The session at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez is scheduled from 12:30 to 13:30 local time.

Fornaroli previously drove in FP1 at Barcelona-Catalunya and Hungary, McLaren said. The team says the Mexico outing will be the third of its four mandatory rookie sessions. Fornaroli said Mexico City's altitude and low grip would bring new conditions for him, and that his focus would be helping McLaren set up its cars and gather data.
