Vasseur calls for Mexico City track work after warning over Turn 1 bumps

Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur wants work done on the bumps approaching Turn 1 at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez before FP3. After Friday’s second practice, he described them as “almost dangerous”; several cars were seen bottoming out over the bump on the run into the corner.

Charles Leclerc topped both FP1 and FP2, while Lewis Hamilton’s SF-26 stopped during the second session. Vasseur cautioned against drawing confidence from Leclerc’s pace: he said the high-altitude conditions were extreme and a challenge for Ferrari and its rivals.

Ferrari still had a lot of work to do, Vasseur said. He nevertheless called the opening day a good start, while stressing that there was a long way to go.
