2022 Mexican Grand Prix - Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, Oct 28 - 30

Max and Checo not going to.stop imo.

Yep. No way are they stopping.

Mercedes needed to go M S

And RUS was asking for that before his stop. Merc still relying too much on their machine learning algorythms?

Just out-strategied. As usual RB are very adaptable and with the dropping track temp, they went for the 1-stop soft-medium.

Bono telling Lewis that he’s doing the same lap time as Max in clean air…

Yeah, because max is just cruising around for a Sunday drive… that’s why Bono.

What a shame, is that the softs in this part of the race looks really competitive

[djones]

12 laps, 12 second gap. Literally no chance. I think Merc got tricked in to pitting their mediums early.

I was shouting at the TV when they decided to pit on good mediums.

How can a team with all these clever people and fancy data not realise wasting life that was left in the mediums and going hard was idiotic.

[The Prodigy]

Why is Alonso so slow? He has much fresher tyres then Ocon.

[fourmula1]

Not a matter of a different strategy. Max is cruising don’t be fooled to think otherwise. RB far too fast. Did we actually think yesterday this was going to be close? Three teams, six drivers? Looooool.

Merc screwed themselves pitting so early off the best race tyre onto the hard which has clearly not been quick. All of the drivers running long on mediums are getting better results

[bonjon1979]

Merc are deluded here or just talking it up for the drivers, should’ve kept going on the mediums until as long as possible and gone soft at the end. At least with one of them. Silly

Would have change nothing. The tyre deg is too low on the RB. Seen Leclerc at Monza.

From the look of it merc could’ve gone to lap 50 and done what Dan Ric is doing now

The medium didn’t go off at all so could’ve kept a decent gap and then switched to the softs. Worth a gamble

Aye. Very odd.

Perez has dropped off, Russell could be on but Max has gone

[organic]

Ricciardo is flying

100%. Would have been really nice to see one of the top teams on the softs at the end to see what could be done.

Perez is now falling back a bit.

I thought that was the obvious strategy, it seems like they got spooked/tricked by Perez "going on to 2 stop".

[organic]

Perez has dropped off, Russell could be on but Max has gone

Think it was just one mistake

[Alonso Fan]

Why is Alonso so slow? He has much fresher tyres then Ocon.

i called it. engine issue. dropped more than 15 seconds in the last 15 laps.
