Aways like the unique part of this track going through the stadium.

It replaced the old peraltada.

Look how tightly packed it is at the front. https://racer.com/2022/10/28/sainz-leads-ferrari-sweep-of-first-mexico-gp-practice/

How is that driving blind? He is holding a toy steering wheel that is not connected to anything.

He can’t see the track unfolding on video behind him but he’s able to make steering and shifting inputs that match it reasonably well.

Use your imagination.

 

[Marcingak]

Would be more impressive if he did it in the F1 videogame instead of using an imaginary steering wheel.

Sir Lewis looks like he could have a real shot at winning today.

The hard tire didn't work out too well for him last race and I think it will be the same this race.

Merc sold big time.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Surprised no soft stint for the Mercs. I guess it’s just hoping Max comes back to them now.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Pretty ambitious move by Ricciardo.

Merc are convinced the hards are the right choice still…alrighty. We’ll see.

 

[Marcingak]

Looks like Mercedes tire strategy team hired some Ferrari strategists.

 

[Marcingak]

Well this season started so promising but it turned out to be one of the most boring seasons in history

 

[FLRacingFan]

Disappointing considering how good Lewis looked the first stint.

Ricciardo got P7 after sending Yuki flying?

 

[Doc Austin]

Next year will be better.

Max is simply unstoppable. The Merc is much better but still a long way off from the Red Bull. Great drive by Ricciardo. Ferrari didn't hardly even show up today.

That was a hell of a drive from him.

Guess he needs a penalty every week.

Gotta say I completely missed what happened after he got a 10-second penalty, I thought he was cooked after that and was focused on the last fifty or so laps of the Cup race.

 

[Doc Austin]

The cup finish was insane. I'm not sure I even believe it.

Just finished watching, sure was a bit of a snoozer.
Could see Max going on a championship winning streak like Schumacher did.

I could see that happening, but I wouldn’t rule out Lewis getting an 8th or even 9th title either. Merc are working their way back and Lewis wants to sign an extension, all while Red Bull are set to be handicapped for the latter stages of their initial 2023 car development, in-season 2023 development, and early 2024 development.

Ferrari sadly seem to have been hit much harder by the post-summer break underfloor technical directive than Red Bull.

[Marcingak]

At the very least they should have split the strategy between both drivers to give them the best chance of winning. They should have learned from the previous race that the hard tire sucks.

 

[Doc Austin]

That's two races in a row Hamilton has gotten hung out to dry on the hard tires. I'll bet they run softs and mediums the rest of the year.
