I like this track. I like the section where the track goes through the spectatorstand, and so before that section the driver sees those high spectatorstands whereever he looks.

And it's altitude is interesting; what is the altitude going to do with the engines and aero with the different teams.
ATM it looks like this track favours the Mercs. Interesting with that long straight.
Are they finally a contender for pole? Section 1 is their strong sector.

Yeah the surprise is Mercedes . Both Mercs are up there . They are really fast at this track .

IMHO . The pole is for Mercedes .

Max takes pole with a very comfortable 3 tenths
Amaizing lap.
He's in a different league.

yeah, especially LEC is disappointing.
But with this long straight at the start, starting position is less important than on other tracks.
Lets hope it's not a sign of tomorrow's race pace.

Yeah. I'm so sorry my friend .
Today the Ferrari QF was like : #Drifting2Survive

The Ferrari looked like a hand full . The car looked too nervous and really hard to get it under control .
IMHO . Today the Ferrari QF setup was a big shot in the dark...
In other words : Lack of downforce but very fast , because Carlito's trapspeed was 344 km/h !

It won't be easy but I really hope Ferrari can beat the Mercs in the race ..

So with LEC apparently complaining about the engine power and cooling, is this something related to his '23 spec PU?

Thin air is obviously helping the draggy Merc down the straight.

Merc's had a pretty high top speed on the straight. only 2km less than RB, so they have found a setting on their car that fixes than.

Lets hope Merc doesn't apply their bowling ball start tactics tomorrow on Max. Max is the only one tomorrow to prevent them winning their first race, so taking him out is I think a real scenario for Merc's strategy...

My prediction on the warmup lap: HAM is going to slow down and vary his speed in an attempt to slow down the cars behind him, which is bad for the cooling system of those cars (more heat, less power on the startgrid)

•The start ?
The start is actually a 800 meters long sprint race to T1 .

•Mercedes ?
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 .

Max is just ridiculous.

Please Merc give Hamilton a car next year before he gets too old so we can have some real competition in this sport please!

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.
