Poll: Mexican Grand Prix 2017, Mexico City - Race 18/20

What is the best vettel can get out if this? Third? I guess second isn't even enough if Hamilton gets points?

 

[Glaucus]

he wont be laughing if he pops an engine for no need.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Basically the title situation is hopeless for Seb you'd imagine. He'll get up to third no bother but he needs at least second. Hamilton will finish top 9 barring a DNF in which case Seb needs to win which ain't gonna happen.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Hamilton’s car looks knackered. Can’t get past Gasly.

Pace matching the top three though.

2nd is good enough as long as Hamilton is 10th or lower.

Or when he gets penalised rightfully by a steward.. Haha!

 

[UTmaniac]

Kimi to create a safety car situation to try and help Vettel get at least second this race?

 

[utajoker]

is there any point of that 2nd drs zone?

It seems there is only one place to overtake here, end of the pit straight, and you needs drs to do it.

 

[Saffy]

Ham is only 4 places from points with lots of laps to go. He might steal some.

He should. I don't think Vettel will score second so Hamilton might not need any points.

I wonder whether this is the first time a lapped driver will win the Championship at the same race?

James Hunt was the last, I thought they said?

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton with P8 and 2 points could take the championship.
Vettel would then need to win here and the remaining races.

 

[muon]

Bottas needs to just bring it home. Big gap to Kimi.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Why is max still pushing so hard? Silly.

yep. needs to mature and realize you don't want to take the life out of these engines for no reason.

 

[MooMoo444]

Why is max still pushing so hard? Silly.

He's still got a lot of lessons to learn, an engine bang on lap 70/71 will teach him

 

[muon]

Kamikaze Vettel.

 

[Deleted member 651465]

I hope his engines goes pop tbh. Maybe then he won’t be laughing when his team tell him to wind it in.

 

[el_dazza]

Vettel 7 seconds off 4th, then a strategic Kimi pitstop?
