Poll: Official 2023 Mexican Grand Prix Thread - Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, Mexico City - Round 20

That grid walk was boring! Bring back Martin and awkward celeb interactions

 

[.:MBK:.]

Dont mind mixing in a bit more of that, someone who knows how to/can talk to the team members rather than just the figureheads/celeb fodder. Obv needs refining but ultimately Martin is winding down so whoever comes next has to find their thing that works and not just be Martin v2.

Anthem time...

I didn't hate it.

Was nice to see the French flag with some prominence. Shame it blended into their white t-shirts.

 

[Flibster]

25°C Air temperature
48°C Track temperature

Risk of rain for F1 race is 0%

 

[Flibster]

Perez pit radio - Burnout 4-5 seconds, three times.

Perez - Ok Copy.

Pit - Can I take this cap off now?

 

[Flibster]

Mariachi F1 theme too....

 

[Psycho Ned]

Quite like the mariachi f1 theme

 

[Flibster]

Race control - Incident involving Alonso noted - Speeding in the pit lane

 

[Stu999]

Let’s go!!!

Random fact for me: I looked up the circuit record for Croft today and it’s apparently held by Sergio Perez in an F3 car.

 

[andy_mk3]

Norris on softs, he's hoping to charge through the pack.

 

[Flibster]

Norris radio - I think, just with these temperatures, um, yeah, let's just better be ready for it to go not quite as we hope

It was decent! Let's see a nice surprise like a Riccardo podium please, just not a Max romp to victory borefest.

 

[Flibster]

Albon and Ocon on the hard tyre.
Norris on softs.
Everyone else on mediums. Alonso and Stroll on used, everyone else on new.

I hope Ricciardo can stay at this end of the grid this race.

How come he didn't do one?

 

[Tigget]

I hope Ricciardo can stay at this end of the grid this race.

Me too, would be great to see.

 

[Flibster]

Certainly brave decision for Norris. I have no idea how long they're going to last on a 48°C track

 

[el_dazza]

Oh Checo.

 

[Flibster]

Oh well... Perez in the air and a broken wing for Leclerc

 

[RevBillyG]

Perez!
