2015 Mexican Grand Prix - Mexico City, Oct 30 - Nov 1

[godlameroso]

Looks like weatherwise we're going to have the inverse of Austin, with dry practice and qualifying, but Sunday it's looking like mixed conditions.

Here is a first lap of the new circuit

Looks incredibly fast, long straights and interesting low speed section in full view of the large grandstands, this could become a new classic race. The run down to the first corner looks very long.

Looks like Mclaren Honda may get slaughtered at this track.

Long straights, sure. Altitude, no. As covered in the engine thread, the altitude will actually slightly increase the amount of power to the MGU-H (counterintuitively). The turbos really do make life a lot better than NAs at altitude.

As Renault and Honda has already mentioned the turbo must work with a higher intensity in this race because of the altitude and lack of refrigeration due to the special conditions. I expect a DNF for more than one in each team, and the other one losing a lot of performance.

They were slaughtered for the entire season. Here you might see them getting minced.

The new track looks nice. Especially the section through the stadium.

This might be a good Mercedes/Wiliams/Ferrari battle this weekend

The Mercedes duo has for the first time this year been granted to go flat out the whole race, since they now have won both titles. So thet have nothing to loose and they want to put out a good show.
So actually we for the first time will be able to fully see the full potential of the W06 in race trim.
I think that they in most races have been running at 90 % exept in Monza.

Don't know what country you're in but I'm in the uk - so it should work for me - and have found it gives me that error on chrome for iOS but works in safari.

Just in case it helps

I'm going to go out on what I think is a pretty stout limb and say we may see multiple cars running two laps down at the end of the race.
