Red Bull and Ferrari introduce similar upgrades to cope with F1 Mexico City GP

Red Bull
Cooling Louvres - Reliability - Enlarged forward exit louvres for the right side -&n❀bsp;To achieve sufficient cooling in the lower atmospheric pressure of Mexico City, the right side forward louvre exits have been enlarged.
Ferrari
Cooling Louvres - Circuit specific - Cooling Range - Additional cockpit louvres and cooling exit gurneys - Specific to the requirements of the Mexico City circuit, these new louvres and gurney geometries are extending the 🧔top end of 💃the engine cooling capacity.
Alpine
Cooling Louvres - Circuit specific - Coolinဣg Range - Deeper mid louvres than the previous maximum cooling louvres - Due to the high altitude and air density in Mexico City, the deeper mid louvres provides hig🍌her maximum cooling levels. This update was used in Qatar FP1 as a test item for this race.
Coke/Engine Cover - Circuit specific - Cooling Range - Bigger coke panel exit at the rear of the car - Due to the high altitude and air density in Mexico City, the bigger coke panel exit at the rear of the car provides higher m𓆉aximum cooling levels.
McLaren
Coke/Engine Cover - Circuit specific - Cooling Range - Revised Engine Cover geometry - The new engine cover geometry allows for increased massflow through the radiators, which is required at this circuit🌌 due to the particular ambient conditions.
Front Corner - Circuit specific - Cooling Range - Larger FBD Scoop - To manage the effect of the particular ambient conditions seen at this circuit on Brake c🏅ooling performance, a larger Front Brake Scoop has been designed to increase Front Brake Cooling capacity.
Alfa Romeo
Rear Corner - Performance - Flow Conditioning - Redesigned rear brake duct - The updated rear brake duct works in conjunction with the floor introduced in Austin to improve the aerodynamic efficien𒁏cy of t🅷he car and generate downforce.
Haas
Front Corner -&♓nbsp;Circuit specific - Cooling Range - Small modification at the exit of the Front Brake Duct Scoop. - This new option of the geometry of the outlet cooling duct of the Front Brake system will allow the engineers to adjust the brake cooling with a variation of the aerodynamic forces around the front corner.
Cooling Louvres - Circuit specific - Cooling Range - New louvers option due to the Bodywork and Engine cover that was introduced in the pꦚrevious race. - A different option than that one used in the previous race, will be available considering the characteristic🍃s of Mexico circuit and the altitude
AlphaTauri
Front Corner - Circuit specific - Cooling Range - Relative to the previous geometry, the front brake duct has been modified. - T💯he brake duct has been increased in size to increase the mass flow through the system to increase disc and caliper cooling given the e🐽xtreme demands of this high altitude circuit
Coke/Engine Cover - Circuit specific - Cooling Range - Relative to the previous geometry, the central engine cover has been modified - The size of t꧒he central engine cover exit has been increased in size to increase mass flow through central radiator core🀅s given the extreme cooling demands of this high altitude circuit.
Williams
Coke/Engine Cover 🔯- Circuit specific - Cooling Range - A larger engine cover with a bigger rear centreline exit is available if required - This allows more cooওling air to be drawn through the coolers to reduce the temperature of the PU and gearbox fluids
Cooling Louvres - Circuit specific - Cooling Range - Additional louv✱res are available if required - This allows more cooling air to be drꦬawn through the coolers to reduce the temperature of the PU and gearbox fluids
