Bottas still wouldn't win the WDC. Short of being in the best car (by a good 1-2s) and only having someone of the caliber of Narain Karthikeyan as his team, he's not going to win a WDC. He just goes missing in races when it really matters, and makes too many errors.

The track surface looks pretty poor, lots of bumps.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Hamilton got a brilliant tow from Kubica that easily neutralised the Ferrari engine. That’ll get them thinking.

Also, the wheel deflection off the rim through the first few corners

Charles is pretty fast, as always.

The track is crazy stressful for the cars with these high-speed corners and sudden changes in direction...........

What is this T tyre? S for soft, M for Medium, H for hard and T for.... ?

Prototype 2020 tyre.

Mercedes and RB ahead on race pace. Shock, said no one.

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton a good 1.5s faster than Vettel on the long runs on the hard tyre. Soft tyre seems more consistent on the Mercedes too, drop off was more significant on the Ferrari.

But that was Friday on a coldish and cleanish track

Good video for anyone who is intrested.

They really did not want to penalize Verstappen at all in Mexico. 2 instances of his issues being ignored. Although they had to do something after he admitted not lifting through the yellow flag.

 

[Flibster]

Leclerc pulled off the track with engine issues.

And there's more than a little bit of smoke.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Uh oh, the Ferrari’s packed in again. They always push too hard through the season.

 

[Flibster]

Wait... so all 4 wheels off the red and white kerb is now exceeding track limits?
The track is defined by the white line at the edge of the track, so having all 4 wheels on the red and white kerb is exceeding track limits.

I'd be so unpopular with the teams and drivers if I was a steward...

 

[The_Abyss]

You mean that you'd actually set clear rules and enforce them consistently without ambiguity?! Yes, you'd be very unpopular!

 

[CaptainRAVE]

You mean that you'd actually set clear rules and enforce them consistently without ambiguity?

Doesn’t sound like an F1 stewards job description to me.

Oh, there'd be many a paddlin' dished out.

I love seeing these bumps and undulations and how the cars handle them, this track looks a bit of a handful this year and I love it, its not your usual sterile, billiard table smooth ribbon of tarmac.
