What matters on F1RaceDraft
You are not drafting a season roster. You are naming six exact outcomes for this Grand Prix. Circuit character changes which of those six are “qualifying problems” versus “Sunday problems.”
Circuit characteristics
Permanent circuit (altitude). DRS on the long straight. Altitude changes cooling and downforce — trust practice more than sea-level form. Altitude and the stadium section. Cooling and deg both show up in long runs.
P1 / P2 / P3
Do not copy a sea-level race. Read who looks after the car in FP2.
We do not publish a predicted podium as fact. Use practice long runs and the Saturday order, then decide whether this layout usually preserves the grid. Longer method: podium guide.
Fastest lap
A points car with a late tyre.
DNF calls
Opening-lap packs plus cooling-related reliability as a theme, not a count.
No invented retirement percentage lives on this page. If this weekend is not yet open for entries, you can still use the circuit notes; picks for other rounds stay locked until the current unfinished Grand Prix is classified.
Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez
Length and lap count above come from our circuit file. Interpretation of how the layout affects six picks is F1RaceDraft writing.
Scoring reminder
Exact slots only. Lock five minutes before scheduled lights out. How to play: rules.
