2025 Mexican Grand Prix - Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, Oct 24 - 26

Absolute clownery from FIA. As always. Verstappen would have been 2nd.

The knife cuts both sides, he wouldn't have a chance for second if he got penalties for his off-track advantages at the beginning of the race.
Race direction just wants to make the championship exciting.

really, really, really necessary VSC...

What happened? With no visual of the scene I was thinking Sainz's life was in danger for a second.

I’ll be very interested to see if Verstappen lifted sufficiently for that Sainz yellow flag. He gained 3 tenths on Leclerc in that section.
Live by the sword. Die by the sword Max.

why are they booing Lando ? he did an amazing job this weekend, poor public

congrats Lando

He got booing yesterday too after he got pole, makes no sense lol

[djones]

I mean….

The balance to the poor Leclerc/Max ending can also be looked at another way. Leclerc should NOT have been allowed to keep 2nd at the start, but was.

Without that gift to Leclerc, Max would have been 2nd with about 10 to go at minimum.

He gained massively on Charles there but I am not worried for Max. He is immune to penalties.

A lot of people believe McLaren have been favouring Norris all along and are now going as far to disadvantage one of the cars.

I agree with the first part as that is very obvious. But I’m not sure I agree with the cars being setup different.

Verstappen gave back the positions he gained, unlike both Ferrari drivers.

What a set of idiots. Why not just leave it as yellow for 1 last lap.

Absolutely embarrassing end. Thought the tv director today was awful, and the call at the end was ridiculous. Dire stuff

Thanks to that Ferrari takes 2nd place in constructor…

What a joke that VSC. I want to see one reason how that was justified for a car parked behind the barriers. And they lifted it again just after the VER and PIA passed the last possible overtaking spot. How convenient.

He lifted, Leclerc just lifted more.

If Red Bull dont ask the stewards why Charles went unpunished for turn one I would be suprised. Max gave his postion back, Charles did not. 3 points could be huge come the end of the season.

[Rikhart]

They destroyed that last lap climax by denying the viewers probably a great duel, and all this because of a car that was ALREADY BEHIND THE BARRIERS.

Absurd decision.

If we really looked at it in detail, I think there were about 3-4 penalties to dish out.

No, why? Everything solved and cool:
T1:
Lec gave the position to Nor. Ham does not matter, intra team issue.
Ver gave the position to everyone close by, Rus was just well behind.

T1 Ver vs. Ham:
Ver enough alongside into T1, his corner.
Ham enough alongside into T2, his corner.
In the end only Ham messed up in T4.

If Verstappen braked and tried to stay on track on t1 he would have been much further back. He did not even attempt to make the corner and knew it was faster to drive around everyone off track. Again dive bombed and drove another driver off track and no penalty. It’s a bit shameful for f1
