Poll: Official 2024 Mexico City Grand Prix Race Thread - Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez - Race 20/24

[muon]

Mercedes are very slow, so Max should still end up 4th, 20s behind Lando.

 

[MissChief]

Rain in the last 5 laps would be immense.

 

[UTmaniac]

Shame Piastri pitted before Max caught up.

 

[utajoker]

Shame there's nowhere to overtake other than the drs zone

 

[imtoooldforthis]

Sky cockteasing with the rain

 

[el_dazza]

Not a chance will that rain appear.

 

[Scam]

Probably knows its his last home race, doesn't want to pull into the pits.

Exactly.

Shame there's nowhere to overtake other than the drs zone

Making it easy for Max to get back up to the leaders unfortunately.

Edit: Russell saying rain. Or sweat?

 

[koolpc]

I bet they want to retire Perez but he’s refusing. This is embarrassing.

Perez is afraid to pit in case they never let him in the car ever again!

Hamilton dropping verstappen

 

[Flibster]

Russell radio - I've got very small rain drops on the visor

Pit - Copy


Ooooooooh.....

Max is currently losing time to Hamilton

Red Bull always seems to go backwards on the hard tyre

 

[booyaka]

Rain would make this a 12/10 race

 

[Journey]

Max will be back in the pits for more tyres in the next 15 laps.

 

[Flibster]

Russell radio - Yeah, these raindrops are on the whole lap. Bit more into 12 maybe

Pit - Yeah, nothing heavy currently forecast here George.

 

[muon]

Anyone know if track temps have dropped loads?

 

[PikeyPriest]

If you pit after being given a time penalty, the time penalty is served in the pits. No-one is allowed to touch the car until the penalty has been served.

If you do not pit after the penalty is given, the penalty is added to your race time.

Thank you for clarifying

 

[Flibster]

Another pit stop for Perez. Another set of mediums.

Max is 9 seconds off Hamilton. Don’t think he’s catching.

track temp is 36

dropped to 35 so it is getting lower fairly fast imo

 

[Flibster]

Track down to 35°C now.
