Ending Friday with both Bulls in the top six ⏱️ Work to do overnight to hone our setup for Saturday 📈 #F1 || #MexicoGP Via @redbullracing on X

What happened: Red Bull concluded Friday practice at the Mexico City Grand Prix with both cars finishing among the top six times. The team evaluated setup balance across the opening sessions at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.

Why it matters: The top-six showing maintains competitive momentum following recent outings where the team showed strong form, including staying within two tenths of practice pace in Austin. Securing optimal aerodynamic balance at high altitude remains critical for tyre degradation across Sunday's race distance.

What to watch: Teams return to the circuit for final practice and qualifying on Saturday to determine the starting grid for Sunday's Grand Prix.
