So what are your predictions?
After the awesome race in Austin the gap between RB and McLaren sure has diminished. And Ferrari was the team to beat in Austin. Will Mexico city give a similar race, or will the McLaren cars be superior like the races before? This is my prediction: 1. NOR 2. VER 3. PIA 4. LEC 5. SAI 6. HAM 7. PER 8. RUS 9. LAW 10. ALB

5 races to go! It's going to be close, but with Verstappen widening up the gap in the championship a bit in the USA he has a bit more breathing room. Maximum 146 points to score till the end of the season and Norris must outperform Verstappen with 11,4 points on average in the last 5 races. That's a huge task.
For Mexico i think: 1. Norris 2. Verstappen 3. Leclerc |

Also Lando can't risk a DNF, even if it also means a DNF for Max. Not only because the gap with Max, but LEC is only 22 points behind.

With some more improvements to MAX's liking it's going to be more difficult for LAN even with a slightly more faster car, which is likely to be that much less quicker now than the 1 RB20, MAX was on the cusp to take pole at Austin before RUS flew off the track into the wall at that critical moment.
The chips are down for Checo to do well at his home GP also with Ferrari just 8 points behind RBR in the Constructors. 1.MAX 2.LEC 3. NOR 4. PER 5.SAI 6. PIA 7. RUS 8. LAW 9.TSU 10. HUL |

Just saying that Ferrari's out of the blue improvement to get a 1-2 at Austin has taken me by surprise, the smell of E10 fuel SAI had in his car earlier in the race is somewhat interesting as these are sealed systems with a 500mm max length flex pipe between the HPFP and the Breakaway valve at a set pressure.

Perez (currently WDC P8) getting emotional whilst announcing that he quits Red Bull Racing at the end of this season, thanking Horner, his wife, Carlos Slim, KitKat, etc. for everything.
After the Austin race, Horner called Perez "a veteran". Red Bull (WCC P2) is now merely 8 points clear of Ferrari (WCC P3). If Leclerc and Sainz manage to grab WCC P2 at the Mexico GP (a clear and present danger), then that would be quite emblematic for Perez's performance at Red Bull Racing this year. My guess: the writing is on the wall.

Mathematically, it's still possible. A couple of 'feisty NOR-VER fights ending with DNF entanglements' and - with a little help from Sainz - Leclerc could strike. But to achieve this, Ferrari may not do "Ferrari Things".

Glad we don't have to wait long for another race!
Checo not helping much to keep RB in the championship. They need to bring in fresh blood to help Max. Really hoping Max can pull out a win this weekend! Three straight weekends of racing! Love it!

For sure his financial backing is a strong lobby, and the only reason he still has a seat in RB.
And I think not only because of Carlos Slim, but also because of RB soda sales in both Mexico and the southern part of the US in the mexican community. There they love their sweet drinks too (mexican americans are 20.6% overweight and 28.1% obese)

If RB want to lose it due Checo and drop to 3th in WCC , then they should keep Checo and his Mexican KitKat support . What a political soap opera (!) Just buy your seat ...

Would be thrilling though if Perez could win his home Grand Prix next Sunday. No time to have a break for a KitKat, but time for some podium finish action. Come on Checo.

yeah last year to me it looked like that happened because he was under so much pressure being his home GP.
If he announces his departure at this GP....the pressure will be even higher...

We'll soon find out in Mexico but from what I can see and hear Checo is staying put after Mexico, even Horner has said it but on condition he improves to a certain degree.
