Lewis Hamilton and George Russell will be running different aerodynamic packages at the 2024 F1 Mexican GP, similar to what they did in the US GP a week before. This was due to Russell's crash at Austin and Mercedes's lack of more new upgrade parts.
In Q3 of the qualifying session at the 2024 F1 US GP, Russell lost control of his car and crashed hard into the barriers. This brought major issues for Mercedes, as they were forced to use old parts on the car. The reason behind this was that the team only had two copies of the new upgrades, which consisted of the front wing, underbody, cooling inlet, wishbone panels, and engine cover. Hence, Russell's entire aerodynamic package was converted to the Singapore GP specification.
