It's the Mexican GP tonight.
The thin air has made Mercedes more competitive.
Verstapphen managed to gain the pole, but in 2nd and 3rd are Russell and Hamilton.
The season has been so one sided it's made it rather boring.
As I watch the Mexican GP I have become convinced that there is too much info fed to the drivers from the pit - or worse, from the technical dept back in England somewhere as M Brundle has just referred too! Ridiculous - no?? Surely the drivers should work much more out by themselves?? I guess going back to Senna Mansell etc, they were probably given info from the team too - we just disn't hear it?? Ok, but I wonder whether it was as much as is the case now??, even allowing for the relatively greater complexities of the car today!
Try being a WRC team in the back end of nowhere, having to sort things out by yourself as a crew. (yes, in certain circumstances, they can phone back to base)
George Russell has won a thrilling Sau Paulo Grand Prix and became the 113th different F1 winner in the process. Lewis Hamilton finished 2nd, to make it a Mercedes 1-2 and Carlos Sainz rounded off the podium in 3rd.
And Max proving that he's a team player...
Good to see George get his first GP win. Not so good to see Max Verstappen being a prick once again by refusing to follow a direct team order to return a place to Sergio Perez.
I've said Max was a nasty piece of work since he first came into F1 and I've seen nothing so far to change that opinion. Seb Vettel grew up a lot when he left RedBull. I don't expect we'll see a repeat of that with Son of Jos.
max reaches a new low even for him
you and your team are well suited
classless pieces of shit
true colours
The bullshit from ToothRot F1 yesterday was comical. One minute Sergio Perez is being interviewed with a face like Thunder and seconds later Horner is telling us they've had a chat and everything in the garden is rosey

Yep I am in agreement with you here.
I am all for being ruthless in competition when required but Verstappen crosses the line way too many times and dare I say it is the F1 version of Trump. Nothing is ever his fault and he is always the victim.
His driving style is borderline reckless and his overall conduct questionable at best. He doesn't seem to like it when people have the audacity to stand up to him and that reflects badly on him to be honest.
^The comparison with Trump is interesting. There's something about Max that sets my Spidey Senses tingling.
Considering the sort of company he keeps I won't be surprised if he's involved in something very unpleasant in the future.
