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

Not surprised when VER goes to the end on the mediums. Track temp is lower than yesterday, so that'll help avoiding overheating. And risk for the hards to be too cool.

GP asking Max for a frontwing update for a possible next stint. Seems they're 2-stopping after all? Or just bluffing I don't know

Verstappen cruising here. Hards are crap. Max will pit and be much faster towards the end .

Checo backed off from DRS range to almost 2s back now.

Tyres or cooling maybe?

Max could stretch it out on the mediums. I can’t see it though.

My guess is cooling and especially brakes. rb have struggled with front brake temp all year and mexico tests this

Surprisingly very few incidents, no overheating engines, spins, etc.

Expect a SC any minute

I do think the mediums won't last, but I don't think the condition of the Mercedes hards would be enough to overtake even if they somehow close the gap

It's a procession. Never understood why people rant & rave about this track, it's really poor for overtaking.

[Juzh]

Hards will be ok, probably needed to get rid of some minor graining and once they're up to temp they will hold steady pace easily. Mediums not so much.

Maybe this is what they're banking on ? Lack of a cliff? The amount Max is pushing makes me think 2-stop though
