Verstappen, recorded victory in Mexico against Hamilton

Max Verstappen He won Mexican F1 GP in the view of Lewis Hamilton Y Czech Perez again drove thousands of Mexican fans to attend the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on his second podium at home, even though he knew little by little why they wanted victory. This is one of the few things that the Mexican fans, who came to see the greatest show in the world, can shout, and He found himself in a career too marked by strategy, with a lot of wheel management, with a lack of hand-to-hand battles for the most coveted prize. Max did his hardest without suffering, defended his first position in Turn 1 and won the strategic battle by choosing better. He came out with a soft and finished with a single stop, putting the medium. Hamilton chose to go out in the middle and put the hard going at the end. That tire was slower than Max’s medium and that was the end of the race. This is the 14th victory of Maxwhich surpassed the record of 13 wins in the same year as Michael Schumacher (2004) and Sebastian Vettel (14th). The Dutch and Red Bull have no rivals.

MEXICO F1 GP FINAL RESULTS

Red Bull got the strategy right against Mercedes

Verstappen and Hamilton meet again in Mexico, repeating the rivalry that is already F1 history. This time, they did it without the title at stake, now in Max’s hands. But it was a great honor to defend a year after his spirited and controversial title fight. Mercedes went out with the medium and wanted to finish hard, thinking Verstappen’s medium tire would break at the end. At the time of Lewis’ stop, there were 41 laps remaining and he was 5 seconds behind Max. But little by little, he lost hope of winning. The script of the film is suspenseful at first, everyone is waiting for strategies, and then, waiting to see if Max’s tires will last. But it ended at the beginning. There is no final plot twist, no battle between the two antagonists. Not face to face. The low degradation of this track and the best speed of the dictated sentence medium. There was no goal in the 90th minute or anything that put emotion into the match. Max wins pushed by the success of his wall. With 17 laps to go, Hamilton radioed that the choice of hard rubber was the wrong one. So it is. He waited, he waited, but Max’s tire problems didn’t come.

Lewis went from looking in the eyes of success, to looking in the rearview mirror. Pérez was less than two seconds away on the medium rubber. He was able to maintain that second place, but he never gave it up for more.

Hamilton took second place after a rough start, the only time there was a ‘spicy’. The Englishman overtook Russell in good spirits at turn 3 and hurt George who lost position to ‘Checo’.

Sainz, 5th

Carlos Sainz finished 5th at the Mexican GP. At the start he tried to gain positions, but ‘Checo’ Pérez closed the door inside turn 1 and the man from Madrid had to lift his foot too early to avoid an impact. He was about to cost a fortune against Leclerc, who wanted to pass him on the outside in turns 1 and 2. The Spaniard defended himself on the inside, and then defended himself on the outside with plenty of talent against Leclerc in what followed that corner. . Carlos pulled well and maintained fifth place. From there, he couldn’t do much to catch the top four cars. He maintained a better pace in the first session compared to Leclerc and finished the race calmly.

Alonso lost an easy 7th due to another problem with his car

It is the tonic of the whole season. Fernando Alonso shines on the track, but his car deprives him of adding the points he deserves. It happened again at the Mexican F1 GP. No wonder the Asturian complained on the radio: “Unbelievable. What a season! What a season!” Alonso gained two positions at the start, from 9th to 7th, with another excellent start. He printed excellent speed on the medium tyre, extending his first stint significantly with a total 40 laps. He had 7th place in hand, as the best of the ‘mortals’ after the 6 best cars. But again, his Alpine failed again. He started to lose speed and Ricciardo and Ocon passed him. 1st It was -9 and he couldn’t hide his disappointment. I knew how it would end. He would end up retiring on lap 65, with 6 laps to go. Some good points eluded him again, others after a full campaign of reliability failures in his Alpine, more so than Esteban experienced.
