Hülkenberg: We'll try to build on our success in Mexico.
At the previous round in Austin, Nico Hülkenberg scored his first points since the podium in Silverstone. The German Sauber driver is determined to consolidate that success in Mexico. His teammate Gabriel Bortoleto was inconspicuous in Austin and now wants to make up for it at the upcoming round.
Nico Hülkenberg: "It was great to score points in Austin, and I'm heading to Mexico in a good mood this week. We face a special race on an old-school circuit that's interesting to drive, and the stands fill with passionate fans. After a good result last weekend, our goal is to consolidate the success. The high altitude will be a challenge and will affect the car's behaviour, but we remain focused and will try to do everything we can to have a strong weekend."
Gabriel Bortoleto: "I'm looking forward to the Mexico round this weekend. I've heard so much about the atmosphere and energy of the local fans that I want to experience it all in person. In addition, this circuit has a rich history, and although the final sector has changed significantly, some of Formula 1's greatest drivers have still competed here over the years. I want to leave the difficult weekend in Austin behind and focus on steady progress. Nico scored points and showed what our car is capable of, and I'm determined to get back to that level. This weekend I'll have three practice sessions at my disposal, so I'll be able to learn the track and progress from session to session. I want to make the most of the time on track and put in a strong performance."
