Almost half the grid were stand-in drivers for the Mexican Grand Prix's FP1! 

Obviously that has implications for the drivers having to sit out that session, too. And that's before you consider the complexity of the high altitude and new lower-downforce 2026 cars at a track where that downforce is so crucial.

Here are the practice results:
