F1 teams still pushing with an eye on 2017
The F1 development race hasn't slowed down as much as expected in the final races of the current rules cycle, with teams still pushing to maximise running before the winter break and Mexico-specific solutions on show this weekend too
While there may be a dramatic change to the aerodynamic regulations in 2017, teams are continuing to push forward with development in the final three races of the season.
Added to that development work, for Mexico several teams have made tweaks to aid cooling, given the track sits 2250 metres above sea level meaning the air is 20% thinner than at most races.
