It was a tense exit from the F1 Mexican GP

In the last four races held Mexico, in only one (Leclerc in 2019) was the poleman able to defend his first position at the start. had even 811 meters to the first cornerand it leaves a very complicated position on Verstappen. For this reason, he chose to prioritize the start by placing soft tires, while the two Mercedes (Russell 2nd and Hamilton 3rd) opted for medium tires. And finally, Max took first place with a great start.

hamilton he entered the car Russell on the outside of turn 2 to the inside of turn 3. That action hurt George, who widened a bit, and he took advantage of that Perez in 3rd placeº. In Verstappen in first place, Hamilton in second, ‘Checo’ in third, and Russell in fourth, the focus must be on the battle between the two Ferraris.

Sainz defended himself against Leclerc

Leclerc started very well and was about to benefit from the fact that Carlos Sainz had to lift his foot early in turn 1 when he saw how Pérez was closing in front of him. That could cost him a position with Charles, who tried it on the outside in turns 1 and 2 and the inside in the latter, but Carlos eventually defended himself on the outside to maintain fifth position, with both Ferrari that bet on soft rubber from the beginning..

Good start for Alonso

Behind them was Fernando Alonso, who passed Lando Norris and Valtteri Bottas in the first meters, from 9th to 7th place. Alonso started with a medium tyre, trying to prioritize a one-stop approach.
