Mexican Grand Prix: Strategy guide

MEXICO CITY -- If it stays dry, the Mexican Grand Prix looks likely to be a two-stop race, but the threat of rain hovers over this event and could turn it into a fascinating contest.

The high-altitude Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez circuit has produced a mixed up order, with the thin air negating the season-long power deficit which has hamstrung the Red Bull cars, helping the former world champions to its first front-row lock-out since the 2013 U.S. Grand Prix. In the warmer temperatures of Friday, Red Bull dominated as Mercedes and Ferrari struggled with tyres, but the cooler conditions of Sunday should make this less of a headache for everyone.
