Pitstop Practice
Spectators with a view of the pits try not to blink. This is where pit crews hone their skills for the 2-second tyre change.
Pitstop Practice in Mexico is from 9:30 – 10:00 on Saturday morning.
Driver Track Parade
This is when the grandstands really start to fill up. 2 hours before lights out, drivers warm up for the race by waving at fans and answering questions. Last chance photo op before the helmets go on.
