Actually, if you look up the history of that - Mexico City never had a Day of the Dead parade until the 007 Spectre film. The director wanted a parade so they created one and it was so successful that they decided to make it a tradition.

OMW...ALB was caught in BEA's vortex then hit him and went into the wall hard but ALB looks ok, just one of those F1 things.

FP1 goes to RUS after the hour, his Merc was fully technically examined by stewards before hand and found to be all within the rules.
Pirelli are giving teams some 2025 prototype tyres to test out in FP2.

As the session restarts MAX is probably out of this practice with a bad engine and no brakes.

In FP1 ,a piece of MAX's floor broke into 2 pieces . And his HONDA PU sounded terrible and lost power.
And his FP1 was over ...

Mercedes’ Austin upgrade clearly is a step backwards. 2 weeks and 3 spin outs. Time to revert back and just ride out the rest of the season.

Not the best practice sessions for Max with the technical problems.
Lets hope that he can put down some serious laps tomorrow in fp3 to get the car in the optimal window to race Lando
