The 'they come too close together' Mexican GP chat & prediction.

I'd be surprised if a bookies gave you better odds than evens for a Vettel Max incident at the first corner.

 

There's potential... that's for sure.

Mostly just annoyed that I went Hamilton early instead of Bo Duke.

 

Apparently Ferrari have no new super softs left for the race. Red Bull and Mercedes do. Could affect the race unless they all got ultras-softs.

I don't think it really matters that much, it's a one stop, and that's going to be deep into the race by all accounts, as tyre wear is no biggie here.

 

It's a long straight...

Linked to this there's often talk of Ferrari and Mercedes Q3 engine modes. Between Q1 and Q3 the increases were:
Bottas: 3kph
Kimi: 2kph
Max: 2kph

Not a huge difference and I don't know why we don't get the other drivers from the team. But I guess it's something to look out for.

 

Surprised at that, Vettel had 5 sets to the Mercs 3&2 sets, the RB had 4.

Edit

 

When F1 can't maths

 

He could drop 500 places and still start ahead of Macca.

 

Interesting!!

 

Daft from Hamilton there... really daft.

 

ah well, should be interesting now. Can Hamilton get back to 5th to guarantee the title, has Vettel blown it now for his top 2 finish?

 

Well congrats on the win Max. I doubt Vettel can get 2nd now so.... congrats Hamilton on the championship.

 

Worked out okay, Vettel had more to lose than he did.

 

Should have left em to it.

 

All you had to do was stay out of trouble Lewis.

 

I'll tell you what, Vettel may get a penalty for that.

 

Hamilton doesn't really need to be cautious with the standings as they are. Right now Seb probably won't get second.

Vettel meanwhile causing accidents once again.

 

God sake... ricciardo out again. He was going to be entertaining today.

 

Gotta say, Vettel was clumsy as hell on that start.
