Hopefully he's faster now ...

Yes, Verstappen did again a fabulous job. The guy is a machine.

But it's the likeable effect. Norris is likeable. Verstappen goes out of his way to come across as an arse.

“The support in Austin was crazy,”
“So I can’t even imagine what Mexico will be like. I want Mexico to come out, but to support the whole Red Bull team – not just me.”- - - Sergio Perez

Nope.

Weather looks perfect. Mid-70's little chance of rain.

Not likely though there may be some rain in FP, race on Sunday is predicted to be dry with 25C temps.

Poor Horner will be taking extra chill pills to control his temper with him. Checo's got the best car to get on the podium, the massive fan support, so no excuse really not to do well in his home GP.

That's always in the back of my mind and hopefully he can dump the rot and at least beat the now slower Mercs but I'm not holding my breath.

With three hours to go lets look at the youngsters set to drive F1 cars in the FP and aren't their fresh faces just coochie coo

All sorts going on the track with the Mclarens running rough and SAI's Ferrari losing hydraulics and some steering, running on a wing and a prayer that 55 car with SAI recovering from illness.
Albon is doing his usual rapid laps coming close to Max.

GuidoK · 10-27-2023, 04:21 PM

I missed FP1.
Any news the commentators gave on those new RB floors for 2024 they were going to test in Mexico?

FIA have announced that there will be no new floor on the RB19's for this weekend, there were rumours that there was but not to be.

More bad news for the others as RBR's budget penalty has ended as of now.
