There was one driver who played an important role in deciding Mercedes' strategy at the Mexico GP. F1
How Nicholas Latifi’s data played a role in Mercedes’ Mexico strategy decisionJames Vowles admitted Mercedes looked at the data available from Nicholas Latifi on hard tyres in Mexico City, which helped their decision to move to that strategy.
With hard tyres being seldom used up to that point in the weekend, Vowles explained that the data gathered from the Canadian’s lap times showed that it was a compound worth using, given the durability required around the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. “We had two choices: let Perez effectively undercut us but go long and then fit the soft tyres, or stop and given the length of stint, the hard would have been really the tyre that could have made it, the soft would not have made that level of stint.
But Mercedes opted to swap him to the hard compound as well, which left him unable to mount a challenge against Perez for the final podium position – ultimately pitting again with a couple of laps remaining to take the fastest lap bonus point.driver Daniel Ricciardo had carving through the field on that strategy, Vowles acknowledged Mercedes made the wrong call in that moment.
