What's the chances of rain? Hamilton really needs it.

How did Latifi make up so many positions?

He was 6th behind the safety car before everyone dived into the pits.

JN23

Oh I don't mean everyone because there would have been stacking but he'd have still ended up 9-12th He wouldn't. Again, look at Alpine as an example. Ocon came out ahead of both Alfa's and Haas who were behind him in the pits. A drop of position was a possibility but with a decent pitstop unlikely....

All those excuses in baku seem a bit much for Hamilton really. I know you are prepared for people to disagree though. It hasn't happened before because he, rosberg and Bottas had obviously not found this "design flaw" a problem. I don't really see how this single example excuses hamilton more than ...

It was all about the floor changes which only effected low rake cars. Mercedes lost a chunk of time due to this and I do think it was done on purpose. Was it obvious at the time it would affect low rake cars only (or more than high rake)? If so, I don’t understand why Mercedes/Aston voted for the c...

Looking like voting is swinging convincingly to Verstappen & Red Bull. Hamilton has been extracting the maximum from his car & clinging on in races with his fingernails. Perez is extracting more from his Red Bull than Bottas does from Mercedes. Given the relative closeness still, you've still got t...

I have another potentially unpopular opinion... The Alpha Tauri this year is as competitive as the McLaren and the Ferrari but poor driving, and poor race strategies have caused the team to hemorrhage points. I think at some tracks this is very true. I thought they were 3rd best in bahrain, and bec...

Another strong but anonymous performance.

Agreed. Was he shown on the broadcast at all?

I hope he can get a good move for 2023.

I think I'd go along with those three as well. Shout out to Vettel too.

JN23

If traditions continue then Hamilton and Verstappen will come together next weekend as it's a sprint race weekend.

Ah, so nice to see the teammates getting along!

I think I might be back ahead

Unless I've missed a transfer, mine and Exed's only difference is driver group four. Come on George, get another podium!

I've reset the poll following the Mexico race... the votes for who wins the WCC might be closer now.

Pretty pleased with my Raikkonen and Alfa jokers in this one, but feel that Exediron might be out of reach for the championship.

Mexico City Grand Prix Max Verstappen won the Mexico City Grand Prix in dominant fashion. Lewis Hamilton held off a charging Sergio Perez to finish in second position. Verstappen took the lead at the start with a great move around the outside of the Mercedes drivers at turn one and was completely u...

Given the gap at the end, even if bottas had done his job at the start i doubt lewis would have held max the entire race.

It would have been down to strategy I imagine, I think despite having a clearly quicker car, that overtaking would have been very difficult

JN23

Bottas can’t even set a fastest lap. What a joke, he just needed to make space to put in one single lap. Have you not noticed he's hat to pass verstappen, and then let him back through. He came out in an awful position. Did you not notice that he could have just dropped 10 seconds behind anybody an...

Missed opportunity for Red Bull. They should have got a 1-2 here.

Yep as the commentary just said 2nd for Hamilton wasn’t a bad result at the start of the weekend, but disappointing after yesterday. Ultimately Red Bull mucked up yesterday and that cost them second

Simply lovely, as a certain Dutchman would say.

Six perfect podiums I think.

should bottas get any sympathy since hamilton can't pass Norris - who is lapped. Mercedes must seriously struggle in dirty air.

Norris has a lot fresher tyres than Hamilton to be fair, but your second point is right.

The stadium section looks good for the fans but it's awful for racing.

Yeah bet it’s brilliant being in there but so so bad for everything else

JN23

Has there been a good Mexican Grand Prix since 2015? The ending of 2016 was quite good with Verstappen, Vettel and Ricciardo battling. There was a slightly interesting strategy battle in 2019. But it’s generally pretty dull.

JN23

Did Red Bull miss a chance not pitting Perez there? The graphics suggested there was half a chance, surely worth a go

Also nobody seems to have noticed that Perez didn't take the long route around the bollard after skipping T1 and he didn't get even as much as a warning lol

Think the race notes changed before the race to make that ok on lap one and after a safety car

How did Ricciardo not get a penalty for that?

Good question. Same as, if not worse, as Gasly on Alonso in Turkey.

JN23

Starting to think Red Bull 1-2 results are preferable to a drawn out title battle. I'd been nervous that the points from Belgium could be critical and that would be a disaster for the sport, but Red Bull's performance increasingly looks like making that a non-issue. I think it’s track specific tbh.

JN23

Looks like Bottas is struggling with temperatures now. Just pulled out of Ricciardo’s slip stream.

JN23

The biggest issue was Bottas not covering the side of the track where Verstappen was.

Why does Perez think he hit Bottas?
That's weird; doesn't look like he did.

Having seen Bottas’ rear wing camera, Perez is very close to Bottas. It didn’t look like contact though

JN23

Why does Perez think he hit Bottas?

JN23

I think that’s race over.

Mark Hughes quali report

Some temperature talk in there saying that the increase in temperature for Q2 and Q3 shifted the balance. Anyone know if the temperature is expected to be similar for the race?

Qualifying to Mercedes so:-

Red Bull 15 - 15 Mercedes

Do you not think Red Bull underperformed there?

JN23

I’m not convinced Tsunoda is at fault for messing up Perez and Verstappen’s laps in Q3. I think Tsunoda was fine getting out the way and Perez just made a mistake and after that Verstappen had to back out a bit. Basically, Perez’s fault for me. Ted said on Sky that Marko had been down to see Tost an...
