Something he shouldn't have said

What was with Lando's cooldown radio? Regardless it's clear the championship fight is over

Which was?

There's no tire update for validation in today's F1 strategy guide, but if I didn't make any mistakes, it should look like this:

I think everyone in the top will start on soft ?

Too bad Piastri is going off. I thought he could have it this year.

Thank you! Good job as usual!
We will see if the new tire for Lando and Charles is true once they remove the blankets...I think no one is currently sure about them having used it or not.

I think everyone in the top will start on soft ?

Yes. No alternative strategy payed off last year as they even could do 2/3 of the race distance on the Soft without big difference to starting on a Med. Same I expect this year. So I disagree with the strategy options above. Main strat differentiation will be if you go short or long on the Soft.

last year no one used the soft, though?



Also temperatures look hotter now, so I still would think even this harder hard is a viable option. Soft-medium will require a lot of management.

The hard tyre is one step harder this year so it is not an attractive race tyre. Judging by the long run tests, most people will go soft then medium for the race.

sure, but without that tire being harder, we wouldn't even discuss strategies. It would be M-H for everyone. S-M doesn't suddenly turn into a good strategy, especially on a hotter track.

I read that Yuki Tsunoda ended up airborne in all four of his Mexico races so far. Quite an impressive stat, considering that it usually rarely happens.

Leclerc and Norris to start on mediums. Hamilton to start on softs.

Leclerc will get into the lead and Hamilton up to second. Hamilton then protects (for as long as he can) Leclerc.

Is how I imagine this going.

I think everyone in top 5 is on softs. No one liked mediums.

As a Ferrari fan that’s very plausible and would be the perfect scenario…

But to be more realistic you are forgetting about Russell in 4th and Max… they both know how important the start is

Track at 53C, lol.

if the softs just melt away, it could actually turn into an interesting race, for a change. Although probably not at the very front.

[Vettel165]

Expecting a big crash into T1 with most probably top6 involved.... Otherwise a true domination by Norris by 20-30 seconds...
