Happy for BOT. Didn't look like RB had pace that second flying lap anyway.

Now for the race.

Wow, VER car looked like a handful!!! Probably lucky he didn't go off.

Richneerd · 11-06-2021, 04:40 PM

Wow, Mercedes 1-2.

Going to be an interesting race tomorrow!

Max thinks it's better than starting second in a Merc sandwich

Someone should start a gofundme.com for botta$$ to take out Hammy turn 1

I don't know,BOT tried that before and it didn't work,Checo can disrupt Mercs tyre windows which he's done successfully.

The mercedes will have crazy straight line speed tomorrow, the first car will squat getting higher top speed, then the second car behind will get the slip stream + squat.

It will be super interesting what happens tomorrow.

It may be as Ham can't afford a clash if Max gets a better start.

Not sure , but think that Checo was hindered by another car ..
And MAX was surprised that Checo was coming from the grass back on track.
Think that was the yellow flag moment .It's for sure , a situation was going on ..

Hopefully MAX gets a better start than at COTA .

I'm pretty sure ..If they don't crash .Tomorrow It's all about the pitstop strategy

I don't know if MAX (P3) is the clean side of the track ?

That start at COTA where Ham got a quicker start, are they still using those dash lights I wonder

Don't think so . Pictures of the thing were leaked online ..

HAM had a quicker reaction time at COTA . It was about 3 hundreds faster than MAX and that's +/- 5 meters advantage in the first straight .

Ah that figures then; I can't find anywhere where the start clean side of the track is.

News coming in now that Horner is blaming Tsunoda for impeding Max and Checo when he's starting last.

And suddenly...The Merc is very fast in the Mexico 'high altitude !
It's not always been like that ...

GuidoK · 11-06-2021, 05:25 PM

That 800m straight at the start before T1 is going to be interesting.

I'm 100% sure that Yuki will be lapped tomorrow ..

And we know that he loves to play with the Merc's during the race .

Remember Turkey ..HAM was stuck for '8 laps behind Yuki

I see Yuki as a possible HONDA key-factor
