Re: 2019 Mexican Grand Prix Race Thread
I don't think Lewis is dead yet. Vettel isn't rocketing up behind him.
Re: 2019 Mexican Grand Prix Race Thread
Lewis was bluffing on the radio. He has got plenty of tire left me thinks.

I think it's gonna be vettel or Hamilton, bottas is gonna over heat as soon as he gets anywhere close to an overtake
Re: 2019 Mexican Grand Prix Race Thread
Vettel has stopped catching Hamilton.
Re: 2019 Mexican Grand Prix Race Thread
Vettel seems to have hit a wall at just over 2 seconds behind Hamilton for the moment.
Never mind it's suddenly +1.3 seconds.

Re: 2019 Mexican Grand Prix Race Thread
The amount of times where we were fed the 'my tyres won't last the race' before them lasting pretty fine for the rest of the race makes me think he shouldn't have too much issues.kleefton wrote:Lewis was bluffing on the radio. He has got plenty of tire left me thinks.

How hilarious would it be if ricciardo goes and overtakes Verstappen on the last lap

Bottas and 2 Ferraris fighting it out soon for 2nd?
Re: 2019 Mexican Grand Prix Race Thread
I think it's Hamilton or Leclerc for the win.

You can't overtake a Ferrari down a straight

Re: 2019 Mexican Grand Prix Race Thread
Ferrari's advantage against Mercedes is its straight line speed, not race pace. To beat Mercedes they need track position. They had two cars to hold the leading position - and decided to outrace Mercedes with both cars.

Re: 2019 Mexican Grand Prix Race Thread
poor bottas he's going to have to fight 2 Ferraris for now
Re: 2019 Mexican Grand Prix Race Thread
Charles has arrived.
Re: 2019 Mexican Grand Prix Race Thread
This has been a compelling race and the best is yet to come it would seem.

Bottas could win this for Lewis - You get the feeling that if it weren't for defending against Bottas, Seb would be right up on Lewis and cruising past with DRS

I think hamilton's gonna do it...
Re: 2019 Mexican Grand Prix Race Thread
He is maintaining that 2 second gap. I think he's still got life left in those tyres.Rockie wrote:Even with back markers Lewis is not pulling away!

Lewis had to go through them too - gap the same before and afterRockie wrote:Even with back markers Lewis is not pulling away!
Re: 2019 Mexican Grand Prix Race Thread
This will be a great win for Hamilton. I think the Mercedes was the 3rd best car today.

Re: 2019 Mexican Grand Prix Race Thread
I suspect that Seb will have one last charge at Lewis in the last few laps but it doesn't look like he has the pace to pull it off.
I don't know if Charles can get by Valtteri.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the ‘no investigation necessary’ banner more in one race.

Will be a bit of an anti-climax if they just come home in this order!

Leclerc is out of it now, bottas too he can't get anywhere near without over heating.
It's Vettel Vs Hamilton now - can vettel force an error out of Hamilton like Hamilton has done to him so often

Re: 2019 Mexican Grand Prix Race Thread
Vettel hasn't made any impression on Hamilton yet, you would at least think he would get in the DRS zone earlier. These tyres are so wierd here.

Re: 2019 Mexican Grand Prix Race Thread
I'm surprised Ferrari weren't able to make more of a dent given the tire offset. Will Vettel get within a second before the end of the race?

Re: 2019 Mexican Grand Prix Race Thread
Vettel can't get close. He doesn't have the pace. Verstappen's lasted almost the whole race on the hard tyres and his pace isn't too awful.FormulaFun wrote:Leclerc is out of it now, bottas too he can't get anywhere near without over heating.

Re: 2019 Mexican Grand Prix Race Thread
The hard tire has almost no degradation. Verstappen still lapping within a second of the race leaders on 60 laps old tires. Hamilton should hang on easily.F1_Ernie wrote:Vettel hasn't made any impression on Hamilton yet, you would at least think he would get in the DRS zone earlier. These tyres are so wierd here.
