The Mercs are having a lot to lose if they take MAX out , at least if they want to score precious points in the constructors ranking .
Merc has the chance now in Mexico to beat Ferrari with both of the Mercedes drivers .
IMHO. Mercedes wont shoot in their own foot ..See them finish at the podium.
•Ferrari ?
Charlie whined the whole weekend about his upgraded (*2023) Ferrari PU ..
The Ferrari 2023 PU/Spec. isn't responding well to Charlie's right foot.
In other words : His 2023 PU has some lag in the throttle responsiveness , and that really s@cks for Charlie .
That's why Charlie's face looked like thunder and lightning after the QF .
And I'm not speaking yet , about the extreme Ferrari front tires degradation during the race.
Too bad for Ferrari , we won't see them at the Mexican podium ..
•MAX ?
MAX has nothing to lose in Mexico , he's already the 2022 World Champion ,same for his Red Bull team .
The pressure is for Mercedes and I see an ego defending fight coming up from RUS vs HAM !
•That's why I can't see who can beat MAX tomorrow ...
This means that victory '14 is coming up .

Helmut Marko was surprised by Russells quip that he could have had pole as he was expecting Ferrari to be close to Max.
With all the talk of Russell getting getting close to Max at the start there will be no DRS then and Checo will be close to HAM looking for an opportunity also with that long drag down to turn 1.
