Lewis Hamilton completed a faultless Mexican Grand Prix to take the win unthreatened. Nico Rosberg did get under fire from time to time, but held it together to finish second. Vettel completed the podium following a penalty for Verstappen, although he too was later demoted, handing the remaining podium position to Daniel Ricciardo.
Well, everybody is improving as there are many parts which will be the same next year. It would be stupid not to bring these improvements for the 2016 car. I think the opposite is true: If they would fall behind now, this would not be a good sign for next year.PhillipM wrote:Force India have been getting faster and faster through the year, I hope it's not at the expense of next years car.
No, the nose tip is the difficulty due to the crash test, the extra length will not change this. So if they get an aerodynamically better nose through the crash test this year, this will be a direct benefit for next year.PhillipM wrote:Well, unfortunately for them the nose won't have much carry-over given the extra length next year, but they do seem to be on the up, lets hope they don't have any more first lap incidents tommorow and show their true pace at last!
Or you know, he has a terrible weekend, finishes 6th tomorrow and we have a tight championship battle again #wishfulthinkingVasconia wrote:Rosberg seems to be clearly behind Lewis but it has been a weird FP3 with so much traffic.

Do you call this a battle if we see such a poor performance of Rosberg? You can have them fighting for 1/2 now and in two weeks and a battle for the championship if Ham wins this weekend. Not more. But you can also have much less if either of the two falls behind in Q or at the start, then you have one race of boredom in regard to the championship, because the other one will just cruise to the win.turbof1 wrote:Or you know, he has a terrible weekend, finishes 6th tomorrow and we have a tight championship battle again #wishfulthinkingVasconia wrote:Rosberg seems to be clearly behind Lewis but it has been a weird FP3 with so much traffic.

Alonso did it intentionally and vettel didn't. That's the difference.tonmeister wrote:Vettel clearly blocking Hamilton on Q2. Oh the irony, who´s the idiot now? (refering to Vettel´s insult to Alonso on free practice) Not looking good for Rosberg...
