That was a seriously impressive lap, honestly, props to Lando. Even his haters can't find something bad to say about that performance for sure. Been having a lot of hiccups on last Q3 laps this season, but not that one.

A shame it's in Mexico though, I can almost bet my entire net worth on him losing P1 off the start tomorrow :lol:
Should just try to stay on the race though, if his pace from FP sessions has been any indication, it wont matter much if one of the Ferraris gets ahead. He should be able to get past.

Piastri's WC is over. He will not bounce back from this.

Lando winning means Max cannot catch our guys.

Yeah it is quite likely Ferrari risks it all to take the lead and Lando will let them. So we may even get Lando close to Verstappen soon after start.

But hopefully the race pace is as strong.

Terrible for Oscar but Norris had a dream lap. Max will be held back by two Ferraris and a Mercedes, hopefully Oscar will attack from behind. Fingers crossed! :twisted:

I'm not sure what's happening with Oscar. Come tomorrow if Norris wins he will take the upper hand on the title. Kudos to him if he does that. He has improved since the start of the year. That was a magical lap time and I never expected Mclaren to dominate so much Mexico qualifying.

Is that good news for Vegas possibly?

What do you even say. Piastri collapsing at the end of the year again. Utterly dominated by Norris.

Wow, dream lap and result for Norris.

A tough day for Piastri, that sucks. I think Piastri would do well in a fight with Verstappen.
I really hope he will be extremely harsh with Max

As long as Norris performs a good start and covers the rest he should be okay. Hamilton will have more of a chance than Leclerc.

Good attitude by Norris in the interview. Has a huge grin and says he is going for the win.

To notice that last McLaren performance update for MCL39 was in Spa, so 7 races ago.
So….

In Brazil will this read Mclaren, Ferrari, Mercedes, Red Bull? :wtf:
