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.
Perhaps he want to be champion?PlatinumZealot wrote:Damn it Nico! Why didnt you just stay down!

Ferrari 6th and 7th? Funny how Vettel said their pace was genuine yesterday. Looking out for Alonso and Perez starting 11th and 12th on the softs.
The issue is Ferrari did not improve with SS tires, others did.SameSame wrote:Good recovery by Rosberg. Hamilton could easily have found a few tenths on that first lap.

If he isn't careful tomorrow the Bulls will jump him, and if he finishes 4th, just finishing second to Lewis won't cut it anymore.PlatinumZealot wrote:Damn it Nico! Why didnt you just stay down!
If he takes the lead at the start, it will be a very interesting race.dans79 wrote:If he isn't careful tomorrow the Bulls will jump him, and if he finishes 4th, just finishing second to Lewis won't cut it anymore.PlatinumZealot wrote:Damn it Nico! Why didnt you just stay down!
Fair enough, but they should let the results do the talking. They looked quicker than RB all weekend and after qualifying it looks like it will be difficult for them to finish inside the top four. Interesting that Horner said RB prefered starting on the SS instead of the soft.LionKing wrote:The issue is Ferrari did not improve with SS tires, others did.SameSame wrote:Good recovery by Rosberg.

Vettel's SS lap on Q3 was only 0.004 faster than his soft tire Q2 run.
Proof of that, please. Vettel´s block was blatant...Juzh wrote:Alonso did it intentionally and vettel didn't. That's the difference.tonmeister wrote:Vettel clearly blocking Hamilton on Q2.

I watched an onboard video from Vettel's car and he was busy warming his tyres prior to setting his best lap time, he was weaving just prior to the slow corners and was unaware of the impending approach of Hamilton. At the moment Hamilton passes him I think he was adjusting a setting on his steering wheel and it looked like he was taken completely by surprise.tonmeister wrote:Proof of that, please.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/formul ... wdown.htmlFerrari duo Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel, who share five world championships between them, have been particularly vocal in their opposition of the Dutchman's ploy.
'I think it is a pretty positive thing that they have to apply a rule to get past me,' a typically-bullish Verstappen added. 'You always have the older guys in every sport who speak up a bit more to the younger ones.
'The older guys have been the most vocal, the world champions [in particular]. Lewis doesn't really speak that much. He is pretty relaxed. I just try to be myself and do my own thing.'
