The FIA have confirmed that both Ferrari and Aston Martin have broken overnight curfew at the Mexico City Grand Prix. Neither team will face punishment, however, as they have each used one of their four permitted exceptions.

Although neither driver's car has been mentioned in the FIA documents, both Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton and Aston Martin's Lance Stroll's cars had issues during Free Practice action in Mexico City.

In the case of Hamilton, the Briton stopped at the halfway stage of FP2 with what looked like a complete loss of power, with the seven-time world champion "praying" the issue would not affect the rest of his Mexico City GP weekend.

Stroll missed FP1, but the driver filling in, American rookie Jak Crawford encountered mechanical issues that led him to stopping at Turn 1, which then brought out a Virtual Safety Car.

In what was an optimistic outlook for the rest of the weekend, Stroll's Aston Martin teammate Fernando Alonso confirmed the Canadian's car still had issues that needed to be looked at for the following day.
