By Spengo Go To PostThat was some good defending.Kimi wasn'tgoing to do anything stupid, but he did not let him pass onthe outsideof that fastcorner.......like last year ;)
Mercedes a sleep for Bottas and that cost them a place, although he can push harder/longer on those softs as Max his SuperSofts

Lewis with extra stop,, but still in front of Vettel and Bottas will move over, so just a little racing left
KIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII at last, so happy for him
"ah, thank you", so cool :P

Great race for RENAULT, not the engine but the team, they needed it P6/7!!!!

That ending with Hamilton and Max was fucking lovely. Perfectly clean racing too. Also happy for Kimi with this win, deserves it!
Kimi smiling, must say did not expect it today, but Mercedes double stop made it possible and very happy for him !
By markao Go To PostVetttel and DannyRic was so stupid again from Vettel, so unnecessaryCame here to say that.
And good for Raikonen.
Ocon and Magnussen were DSQed from the race due to exceeding fuel flow/to much fuel used. Moved up Perez, Hartley and Ericssson

Was that one of the technical things added when they were trying to make F1 teams be more "efficient / real world" ? Otherwise ... who cares, let them burn all their fuel and do extra pit stops?
COTA board radio from Verstappen, Hamilton and Vettel.

By giririsss Go To PostHeard about that. Seems like a really odd restriction to put on the Cars.yes purely technicall, from 2015 and introduction of the hybrids. Bit "green" looking, but also to avoid a silly Q race (money spend) modes that would have no doubt created some interresting HP monsters for Q sessions :p

Can only remember RBR being DSQed in the first race 2015, no one after it. They are thinking of lowering that restriction for 2021, bit more fuel flow and maybe ulimted fuel use, teams will limit that for them selves (to much fuel = to many kg).
Those full team radios are fun are they always released?
Assuming it is a recording from F1 TV using Adobe Audition or something like that. It would be relatively straightforward, record the whole race with Audition, with only the team radio as an audio channel.

We are almost there, only three to go and for round 19 we are in Mexico City for the FORMULA 1 GRAN PREMIO DE MÉXICO 2018 and home race, you guessed it right, for Sergio Perez.
Track used is Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez and mostly remembered for two things. The stadium section, that replaced the fast last slightly banked corner Peraltada (for racing probably ok, but still :( ), that creates an almost football stadium atmosphere and the fact that it is located almost 2300 meters above see level. Means engines breath more difficult and even though its a medium downforce track, teams will use high downforce set-ups to create enough downforce (thinner air).
Its the weekend Lewis becomes 5 times World Champion, or is it UK media ;) Finish in top 8, I know but wingman can fall back behind him, aka top 7 should normally easily be reached unless something really silly happens (DNF)
Another weekend and an other time I do hope Daniel finds some luck deep in his kangaroo pouch and hopefully RBR isn't to far behind (engines less of a factor at height+ high downforce) in race pace and he can finish RBR time of with a podium (hard to see it happen in last two races).
And just one because those día de muertos skull look fucking cool :P
Dirt and dust on track means softest cpompounds graining like mad, will probably get better during weekend. RBR/Renault op hypers, Merc/Fer on the US.
Graining, a lot of it: https://giant.gfycat.com/FrailGaseousIcelandgull.webm
close call
FP2 the same ;)
If you ignore Fer/Merc all looks normal, but even though they turned down their engines, the problems (tire wear) look a lot more severe han just a Friday. RBR single lap pace is fast and their long run pace, even though Max was in constant traffic, a lot better than the other two.
Renault look good for a shot at best of the rest.
WhoWhat is Max going to stop, Renaults batteries are doing their usual best.
En Max fastest lap from this afternoon:

Bit wetter and cooler and as expected Fer/Merc closed gap to RBR, but looks like Max is in the mix for pole, if it stays dry. Bottas issue hydraulics, will be fight to get car fixed for Q.
Midfield close, only 1st mega lap by Charles put him as best of the rest, but looks everyone is there or there about.
Might rain for this afternoon, if not expects some top teams to do Q2 on the US, if enough pace to avoid Hypers tomorrow.
Top teams on the US, rest battling to stay out of Q3, other than Ren/Sauber. Whom will have to start on the Hypers tomorrow, might mean two stop for them.
