Between the lines at the Mexican Grand Prix

Motor Racing - Formula One World Championship - Mexican Grand Prix - Preparation Day - Mexico City, Mexico

Pastor Maldonado

The Question: If I could ask all the drivers, just how physical and demanding is it going to be with that combination of altitude, the long straight. Is it going to be more demanding than other races this season?

What Pastor said: We have to wait and see. It’s something new for all us.

What Pastor might have meant to say: For sure, it’s something new for all of us. My trainer told me that the high altitude can affect your concentration but I don’t think it’s such a big issue as this is something that my engineer says I frequently do without anyway. So far I have not experienced any affects with the altitude in the city and neither did the giant psychedelic toucan that I rode to the track this morning. Now, I will bid you all a fond adieu as I think I would like to eat my shoes.
