The FIA has announced the list of updates the teams have brought for the Mexico City Grand Prix, revealing Ferrari and Red Bull Racing are the only top outfits to have brought parts for the race at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.

Scuderia Ferrari following up on their strong P3-P5 performance in Austin, has come prepared for thre Mexico City Grand Prix, with two track specific updates to help the team continue on its positive performance streak, which it has not always been able to capitalise on.

With updated cooling Louvres and a revamped rear corner, Ferrari hopes to increase its cooling capabilities, a factor that always comes into play in Mexico due to the high altitude location the track is on, at over 2500mts above sea level. As reviewed in our technical analysis, this may help the Scuderia aim for higher goals at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
