Just a reminder, but consider it a warning - can we not have any further derogatory name calling of drivers, team bosses and the like. We don't expect you to like every driver/team, but at least keep comments respectful.

If you don't follow this warning, you will lose access to the race thread and the thread for the following race as well.

This includes but is not limited to such terms including Lulu, Crashstappen, Karen Horner, Whingey Spice etc.

I have to admit I'm not expecting much of the remaining races maybe Brazil aside (especially if we get some weather!).
That said decent chance of rain on Fri and Sat in Mexico which could mix things up

Yes you may well be right unfortunately. Although if Ferrari can keep their form then could have a few interesting moments with 3 teams pretty close together.
 
It'll be interesting to see how Checo performs at home... I'm sure Ferrari will be hoping he's up to his usual standard to boost them up the constructors.

Looking at the driver's table things are getting closer between George and Lewis. Could also lead to some battles between them as the number of races remaining decreases? Mind you I'm not sure how much fight Lewis has left in him knowing he's on the way out.
 
Can someone explain how LN got a penalty against MV when both were off the track.
But GR got a penalty against whoever he got his against when he was on the inside and didn't go off the track?

I actually agree with mclaren to stay in front at that point.


Perez was poo. Overtaken by Russell starting in pit lane. No surprise really though.
Colipinto and lawson great.
Russell great.

Sargent must have really been dire as Colipinto is starting to show him up!

Piastri was disappointing unfortunately.

Great by Ferrari
Verstappen did so well to defend against norris. I don't begrudge him the 3rd at all. Just don't understand the stewards with that corner.
