Poll: Mexican Grand Prix 2019, Mexico City - Race 18/21

[Flibster]

Monaco this year he cried about poor tires most of the race but didn't pit again.

They were completely fubar'd. From about 15 laps from the end....

 

[Flibster]

There we go...
Well done Ferrari...

 

[Kanpai]

Grrrr well done Ferrari, that's leclerc opportunity ruined.

 

[Flibster]

What the hell were all those sparks from the wheel?

 

[Kenai]

Always got to consider how much radio sandbagging goes on - maybe it's just to try and lure Ferrari into complacency thinking he'll stop again

I wonder if it's from earthing due to the battery units?

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton's front wheels and rear left look ok. Rear right... Not so much.

Actually, looks like it's cleaned up a bit.

Yeh i always wonder if hes actually being such a baby about his tires or whether it's a game plan.

Hamilton now matching Vettel and Bottas.
That's all he needs to do. Will start to overheat Vettel and Bottas behind him.

Yup, no point in pitting now. He’s fine if they don’t go off the cliff. Others have gone as far.

All Vettel needs to do is wait to attack to be honest. No point attacking too early and running out of tyres himself in a battle.

This is great for Hamilton while they all scrap it out.

Hamilton just likes to talk. He voices his worries and concerns, and the team says sympathetic things back, keeps him informed and listens to him. It's just part of Hamilton's driving style. He likes to have the team give him a verbal cuddle when he worries about the car/race. It seems to work for him.

Leclerc missed that corner....

 

[Flibster]

Carlos Sainz informed that the track has cooled a couple of degrees as the sun has gone in.

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton does a personal best lap.

Also good for Hamilton.

I swear all of his complaining is part of the game plan. That Mercedes has looked solid throughout. At no point did it look like it needed to put. All part of the plan I reckon.

So, driver of the day time?

Could be Hamilton. Leaning towards Albon though Very good job in 5th.
Could be Ricciardo (although he just threw it at the scenery)
Could be Perez too.
