Btw track temperature dropped heavily after Q2. This suited the Ferrari who were good in similar conditions in FP3.

These cars are super sensitive.

Anyway, Ferrari seems to be the best car now. If they are on pole I am assuming they will just run with it on race pace since qualifying is where they are at their weakest.

Honestly not looking too hot for the WCC, unless things swing around in the upcoming races.

Remains to be seen Emag. The WCC is still open and definitely not lost yet just as it was not won yet in Singapore.

The race starts an hour earlier that qualifying. So the temps will be higher...so not all is lost for norris...

I think starting from 3rd is much better due to that huge straight and if Max divebombs out of bounds along with Sainz we might have Lando first by the end of first turn.
Max will ignore Sainz.
Negative. Max likes to win, Max also tends to win out in the braking zone at Mexico T1. He'll go for it if it's there.

I wouldn't be worried about WCC if Piastri was able to be close to Norris in pace. But he is inconsistent.

So frustrating. Still I think the car has the pace and they will unlock it.

I hope so. Sainz is not one to let him through easily. He is also leaving Ferrari so less of a reason to prioritize WCC.

Im sure Oscar Piastri will come alive in the next race. He wont be bad forever and the Ferraris wont be competitive forever.

Do wish people would stop writing off Max and RB, that car is still very good. Yet people act like he's a God when he gets it performing as it should.

Max is a fantastic talent and obviously his car is still good. However he tends to bully people and that damages his image of a driver that is in the calibre of gods like Senna Hamilton, Alonso or Schumacher. I believe he could be on that level if he starts battling clean.

I’m not going to lie, I didn’t want it to feel like Mclaren would have to hang on to the WCC lead with the run in till the end of the season but this has all the hallmarks of the Mclaren/ Ferrari battle for P3 in the 2021 WCC. Come the end of the season Ferrari annihilated McLaren on pace and points

So what you're saying is he is exactly like those two?

Lando will cruise to a win tomorrow IMO

Hoping the Ferraris can give Max trouble and keep him off the podium.

It’s cooler tomorrow for the race as well compared to Quali. Should be another easy one for Ferrari
