F1 GP Mexico | exercise 1Marc Gené, on DAZN F1, on Alonso and Austin: “Alonso’s car didn’t break in Austin… It’s a tank! It’s an incredible thing.”
F1 GP Mexico | exercise 1more and more pilots with soft rubber. Alonso was in the box after doing 11 long run laps on hard rubber.
F1 GP Mexico | exercise 1Leclerc and Bottas put on the soft rubber. Charles leads because he is on softer tires and Bottas moves up to fifth place on this tire. The rest, all have hard, although Zhou and Mick Schumacher have now come out with soft.
F1 GP Mexico | exercise 1Verstappen and ‘Checo’ Pérez took the first two positions in this first half of Free Practice 1 of the 2022 F1 Mexican GP. Verstappen leads with 1’22″291 and Pérez is second at 0″382. All rolling on hard rubber.
F1 GP Mexico | Jack Doohan in Free Training 1Jack Doohan, son of the legendary 5-time 500cc champion in the Motorcycle World Championship, makes his debut in this F1 Mexican GP in some F1 practice sessions behind the wheel of an Alpine, as he is a pilot in the academy of France team at 19 years. “It was amazing to pilot,” he said on the radio. “Okay, go back to the pit,” they replied.
F1 GP Mexico | Sainz is confused by De Vries’ nameSainz’s engineer told him that De Vries was behind him.
“Debris?”, he asked (in English, rubble, dirt, pieces on the runway…). “No, no. De Vries”, they clarified. Funny misunderstanding to mishear the Dutchman’s name, driving Russell’s Mercedes in this FP1.
F1 GP Mexico | exercise 1Everyone is now riding hard tires, saving the rest of the tires and working on this compound in these first minutes, in their first stint.

F1 GP Mexico 2022 | Mexico’s altitude affectsThe Hermanos Rodríguez Autodrome, in Mexico City, is located at an altitude of 2,285 meters, an important factor. On this track it is calculated that the air has 25% less density. The height of Mexico directly affects the effort of the pilots, because they breathe less oxygen with each breath of air and this implies a greater effort to receive the necessary oxygen in their body. But it also affects single-seaters, especially the engine. The turbo needs to increase its performance to provide more air to the engine. And that extra effort also means more cooling. But with lower air density, achieving good cooling is more complicated, and this difficulty not only affects the engine, but also other elements such as brakes or gearbox. Another element that is clearly influenced by the lower air density is the aerodynamic load.
At higher altitudes, the downforce of any vehicle is lower, so the teams must opt for high-downforce car configurations, such as Monaco, Singapore or Hungary, to achieve a lower level of aerodynamics compared to these mentioned GPs. On this track, despite carrying a high-load package, the speed reached by the cars exceeded 350 km / h on the straight. The lower the air density, the lower the resistance to the car’s development.
F1 GP Mexico 2022 | Gasly complains about the brakesPierre Gasly, in these first minutes of the first practice sessions of the 2022 F1 Mexican GP, says there is a problem with the brakes. We remember that here the cooling of the brakes and of many parts of the car is very complicated due to the lower air density due to the height of this track.
F1 GP Mexico 2022 | Leclerc puncturedLeclerc was told by radio that they thought he had a puncture in one of the hard tires he was wearing and he returned to the pits to change tyres.
F1 GP Mexico 2022 | There are many non-beginner drivers in Free Practice 1In these free sessions 1 we will see Fittipaldi in Kevin Mganussenn’s Haas, Lawson in Tsunoda’s AlphaTauri, Nick de Vries (who will drive for AlphaTauri in 2023) in George Russell’s Mercedes, Sargean in Albon’s Williams and Jack Dohan in Alpine by Esteban Ocon.
F1 GP Mexico 2022 | exercise 1The first free practice sessions of the Mexican F1 GP have started. It’s time for the track to be the star after so many problems at the offices.
F1 GP Mexico 2022 | Red Bull sanctionsThe anger shown by Chris Horner… it remains to be seen if the other teams believe it, especially the most critical from the beginning of Red Bull’s infraction: Mercedes, Ferrari and McLaren. It should be noted that Hamilton said that if he had spent 300,000 euros at the end of the year in 2021, the outcome of the World title would have been different because his car would have been better. Red Bull spent around 2 million more but said that wasn’t the money for the car or to create the 2022 car where they currently have two championships at stake… We’ll have to see what the rest of the team. think after knowing the punishment. There will be many discrepancies, for sure… That’s how F1 is.
F1 GP Mexico 2022 | Sanctions and fines on Red Bull for breaching the cost limit Once the first ‘hot potato’ had been resolved, the FIA announced the penalty agreement accepted by Red Bull for breaching the budget ceiling in 2021. If they did not accept it, the case would have been taken to a panel of conviction that may have imposed a higher penalty.
They accepted the blame for just exceeding the cost limits by more than 2 million dollars and assumed a fine of 7 million dollars (the second highest in history after 100 million to McLaren in 2007 for ‘Spygate’) and the reduction of 7% of its wind tunnel time and CFD simulations in 2023. Red Bull, as team champion, already had time limited to 70% of the total (this was indicated by the regulations to even things out between big teams and small ones), and with the sanction, it would have 63%.
Chris Horner, boss of Red Bull, said that this excessive spending did not help to improve the 2021 car or create 2022 and considered the sports sanction as “draconian” and very harmful, because it could remove “the between 0″25 and 0″5 lap time”. But Red Bull will start 2023 with the champion car, so many doubt that this penalty could affect them.
Red Bull fined, avoids point penalties
F1 GP Mexico 2022 | The FIA is backing off AlonsoThis is undoubtedly one of the news of the day. The decision on Alonso’s punishment in Austin came after an inexplicable bureaucratic mess. Alpine appealed the penalty against Alonso stating that the complaint filed by Haas against the Spaniard’s car for driving without a rear-view mirror in the United States came 24 minutes after the limit established for showing protests. After intense meetings, the FIA first announced that Alpine’s claim was not accepted and Fernando’s sanction was upheld. And the surprise was huge when the FIA itself overturned that decision after receiving “new evidence” from Alpine. They withdrew to review their own decision, admitting that Haas had filed his protest too late and “shouldn’t have stood.” Therefore, they return the 7th position from Austin to Fernando and his 6 points, where he is placed with 71, only 7 to the 78 of his teammate Ocon with three races to go.
Fernando Alonso penalty mess: FIA maintains its decision and then corrects
F1 GP Mexico 2022The hours leading up to the first day of the Mexican F1 GP held yesterday were tense for the FIA, which announced two important decisions. In the first place, early in the morning in Spain (Thursday night in Mexico), the International Federation decided to remove Alonso’s controversial penalty that deprived him of scoring in Austin, returning him to seventh position he won on the track and his 6 points. And a few hours later, came the announcement of the expected penalty against Red Bull for violating the 2021 budget ceiling.
