RIC welcome back to RBR

This with the big Ferrari Turbos in the Mexican thin air !

Hopefully not , and let us hope for a clean fight in the front

Yeah definitely hoping for a battle the whole race (and clean for sure) but not sure the Ferarri's can sustain what they found in Q3... And above all want to see RIC on the podium! But really feeling that is a very long shot... but calling it anyways

1. VER
2. PER
3. RIC

Think MAX won't take risks in T1 . He will hunt the Ferrari's 'patiently down , as he knows the Ferrari runs with extreme power , this means the Ferrari tyres will be gone in a blink of an eye .
Power is nothing without control , yeah.. we heard that before ...

Sure . RIC is the surprise of the weekend and I wonder how far he can reach with his P4 in the race ..

VER is way passed risks into T1 at this point. Take the opportunity if its there for sure but knows he should still have race pace in hand and not worth binning the car. Honestly if I was VER I would be most concerned about PER and RIC behind me... those two are going to push as hard as they ever have trying to keep in front of each other. Definitely could be some bumper car shenanigans going no between those two.

Lets have a big hand for Hulkenberg, it's his 200th GP entry and has been on pole once and scored three 4th places in that time.

Yes . It won't be easy for MAX .
Ferrari Fred can call for a Ferrari race strategy ..'

I mean : Sainz (P2) can put his elbows wide and close the door for MAX.
Don't know of they will get the chance to do it . Knowing MAX , we never know

Honestly : I'm not hoping for #FerrariThings !
But MAX has 2 keys :

1- Outstanding tyre management
2- Hannah Schmitz

I know that Checo P wants to win the race and with that in mind he can for a change try to get up a couple of places and try to make a working RB strat taking in the two cars, especially if SAI is going to block Max with his crazy top speed.

I actually think it will be a fairly easy P1 for VER if he stays out of trouble. If FER can even maintain yesterday’s pace advantage at all cannot see it lasting long. On top of VERs typical tire deg advantage the cars yesterday were sliding all over the place when the temp was warmer at the beginning of qualy - closer to what it will be most of the race. Could see tires falling off real quick during the race. No reason to get caught up in a scrum at the start or at any point really.

I wonder if SAI will be able to block Max.
That straight is crazy long, so Max will get a nice slipstream from LEC.
Everyone behind Max too of course, but both the ferrari's are the only ones without slipstream

For sure the first part of the race is going to be very interesting.

I know my friend I have that feeling also and fast RIC won't take any prisoners with what he went through before.

Round 20 . The Mexican GP ! Are you ready for it ? The start grid is on ...

[///M Power-Belgium]

Formation lap !!!

[Car-Addicted]

Anyone taking out Checo during this race had better make immediate efforts to get out of the country.

[///M Power-Belgium]

Previous wins : 2019/2020/2021/2022 = MAX !

[M5Rick]

MAX!!! He took 'em both...only Max.
Checo---WTF !
