max verstappen Yesterday I made a mistake in qualifying and started in 3rd place. Mexico. But with much better cars deteriorating, the Dutchman knew he had everything in place to have the last laugh at the end of yesterday’s event. Leclerc, in pole position, and Sainz, who started second, continued to race through only one corner. From there, Max worked his way to victory and an absolute record. The 26-year-old three-time world champion became the first player in history to win 16 times in the same year. He achieved it in 19 races. He succeeded in over 84% of his runs. Beastly. And he has three games left in 2023 to leave his record at 19.

Ferrari knew the Dutchman was still the favorite to win despite starting third. Their few options to compete were for one of the two cars to exit Turn 1 in the lead and drive around the complex course in clean air to cool the cars down.

Ferrari doubted Verstappen in the corner

The mission was complex. Max had the ideal starting point. The distance to the first curve in Mexico is 811 meters. We started in a clean area and were able to ride in the slipstream of a Ferrari. The Italians’ trump card was teamwork. However, Max reacts more quickly to signals andHe was the smartest in the class. He quickly swerved and cut between the Ferraris, separating them. They were helpless. Participating in the party was “Czech” Perez It came like a plane from outside. However, the Guadalajara-born GP overacted at his home GP. He believed the chance to win was on that curve and played his best or nothing. He made contact with Leclerc, who was riding a Red Bull “sandwich”, but nothing could be done.

The Mexican withdrew, leaving Leclerc second and Sainz third, with Verstappen running away. The battle for the podium was exciting and the Ferraris attempted to stop despite further deterioration. Carlos had the option of fighting Hamilton, but Hamilton stopped quickly and was forced to re-enter. However, before that could happen, the race was stopped by a red flag with half a lap remaining.

Verstappen took the lead, Leclerc second, Hamilton third and Sainz fourth. Everyone played again with a standing start. Verstappen did it again and didn’t suffer in the slightest. And that break gave Lewis wings.

Second exit from standstill

Hamilton quickly overtook Leclerc with his superior pace and moved into second place. Sainz, on the other hand, managed to hold on to fourth place despite pressure from Russell. Following Austin’s progress, it was clear that if Mercedes could qualify well, they would be in the best position to corner Red Bull at the end of the year. We couldn’t do that in Mexico, which is a very special race, but we’ll have to see what happens in the last three events. Meanwhile, Verstappen continued to do his job and rack up his wins. He has 16 out of 19 points. He’s a tireless beast who never stops smiling when he learns that Hamilton has snatched the point for fastest lap on the final lap. Lewis’s news. They are coming. They have to take the last and most difficult step. Verstappen is waiting for you.

Alonso abandoned

Fernando Alonso was left stranded in Mexico after a very difficult day. The Oviedo native started in 13th place, aiming for points. Unlike Austin, teammate Stroll, who started 17th, took advantage of his late starting position to break through parc fermé. The Canadian car started from the pit lane with the Qatari car, with its previous aerodynamic package, but Aston Martin wanted to use the race to make comparisons and extract data from both cars. Once the race started, the team was unable to perform this comparative analysis task.

Alonso stepped on dirt and debris left from the collision between Czech and Leclerc on the track, causing his rhythm to deteriorate. Although the previous package seemed to perform much better than the evolved version, the comparison was not real. Alonso was eventually forced to retire on lap 48 due to the impact of the dirt he stepped on, while teammate Stroll also parked his car in the garage with three laps remaining.
