Verstappen beats Hamilton in Mexico

Max Verstappen he won Mexican F1 GP in view of Lewis Hamilton world Czech Perez Once again, it drove thousands of Mexican fans who attended the event. autodromo hermanos rodriguez It was my second podium at home, but little by little I understood why they wanted to win. This was one of the few things a Mexican fan could shout after coming to see the world’s greatest show. He found himself faced with a race that was too distinctive in strategy, too much tire management, and lacking in hand-to-hand combat for the most desirable prize. Max defended his first position in Turn 1, winning a strategic battle by making better choices and doing his best without suffering. He came out soft and placed a medium to finish with a single stop. Hamilton chose to come out in the middle and put the difficult one last. That tire was slower than Max’s medium and that was the end of the race. 14th win Maxsurpassing the record of 13 wins in the same year michael schumacher (2004) and Sebastian Vettel (14th). Holland and Red Bull have no rivals.

Final result of the Mexican F1 GP

Red Bull got the right strategy against Mercedes

Verstappen and Hamilton reunited in Mexico to repeat a rivalry already in F1 history. This time they did it without betting the title, but it was already in Max’s hands. But to defend a year out of his vibrant and controversial title fight is a huge honor. Mercedes came out on the medium and wanted to finish on the hard tyre, thinking Verstappen’s medium would fail in the end. But little by little his hopes of victory faded. The script for the film was suspenseful at first, with everyone waiting for strategy and pending whether Max’s tires would hold up. But it ended like it started. There was no final twist, no fight between two opponents. not face-to-face. Low degradation on this track and top pacing for medium dictation. No goals scored in the 90th minute and the game lacked emotion. Max wins, pushed by his wall success. With 17 laps to go, Hamilton radioed that he had made the wrong choice of hard rubber. It was. He waited and waited, but Max’s tire problem never happened.

Lewis went from seeing victory with his eyes to having to look in the rear-view mirror. Perez was within two seconds on the medium rubber. He was able to hold on to his second place but didn’t do much more.

Hamilton took second place after a rough start. The Englishman overtook Russell on the good inside at Turn 3, which hurt George, who lost position on the ‘Czech’.

Sainz, fifth

Carlos Sainz finished fifth at the Mexican Grand Prix. At the start he tried to gain a position, but ‘Czech’ Perez closed the door on the inside of Turn 1 and the man from Madrid had to lift his leg too early to avoid the impact. He almost paid a heavy price for Leclerc trying to overtake him on the outside at Turns 1 and 2. Carlos pulls well and holds on to 5th place. From there he had nothing to do and caught the top four. He maintained a better pace than Leclerc in the first session and finished the race calmly.

Alonso easily lost 7th place due to another problem with his car

It’s a tonic for all seasons. Fernando Alonso shines on track, but his car has prevented him from adding the points he deserves. It happened again at the F1 GP in Mexico. No wonder the Asturians complained on the radio. What a season! What a season! Alonso got off to a great start at the start where he moved up two positions from 9th to 7th. He set a very good pace on the medium tyres, extending his first stint very well for a total of 40 laps. He took 7th place as best ‘human’ behind 6 best cars. But again, his Alpine failed again. He started to lose speed and Ricciardo and Ocon passed him. He couldn’t hide his disappointment in ninth place. I knew how it would end. He retired on lap 65 with six laps to go. Some good points have missed him, far more than what Esteban suffered after a campaign full of reliability failures in his Alpine.
