Ferrari instructed Lewis Hamilton to stop after he reported losing power in second practice for the Mexico City Grand Prix. The stoppage cost him 30 minutes of running in the build-up to qualifying and the race.

Almost halfway through the session at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, Hamilton said over the radio, “Something's wrong with the car,” followed shortly afterwards by, “I lost all power from Turn 13.” Ferrari's pit wall told him to pull to the side of the circuit and stop.

Haas, Ferrari's customer team, also had a power-unit-related issue with Oliver Bearman's car, raising questions about the Italian manufacturer's engine in Mexico.
