He already has made up almost 75% of the time his pitstop cost him.
So my guess he's going for a 2 stop.

I doubt HAM can pull of a 1 stop.
The ferrari's will I think

Interesting that Max can pass SAI with DRS no problems 1st time on the straight whereas Hammy sat behind SAI for ~3 laps or so and couldn't do it.

The MERC is driving with too much downforce, they lack the top speed.

GuidoK · 10-29-2023, 03:46 PM

What I think is most interesting, is that both PIA and RUS can't seem to close in on RIC.
Or at least, not significantly.

///M Power-Belgium · 10-29-2023, 03:46 PM

LAP 31 = Sainz pits for hards

GuidoK · 10-29-2023, 03:50 PM

Safety car....
There goes Max' 17,5 sec lead....
Max should come in!

Edit: he is! Brilliant!

M5Rick · 10-29-2023, 03:50 PM

Chas also and Max is back in the lead by 20 seconds...but a SC, damn.
Mags has crashed.

///M Power-Belgium · 10-29-2023, 03:52 PM

LAP 33 = Kmag Big Crash !!! Think his suspension broke on the curb

SC ! And MAX is already in the pit

WHAT ?!?! RED FLAG ...

GuidoK · 10-29-2023, 03:52 PM

Red Flag!
Everyone has a free pitstop :P

Fliplegend · 10-29-2023, 03:53 PM

LEC with a free wing change

Kmag's suspension failed (it broke) while he ran over the curbs !

He lost the car in a blink of an eye !

yeah red flag and safety cars usually aren't beneficial for the race leader.

I think Max had an extra set of hards.

///M Power-Belgium · 10-29-2023, 04:03 PM

A new standing start or a rolling start ?
That's the $Million question ...

From a pic I saw it was his R/F suspension that failed.

Yeah . MAX said Damn . The car was on fire ...

Artemis · 10-29-2023, 04:06 PM

Confirmed: standing start.

No rain, so a good choice.

Less fuel, so anything can happen. Good news for Norris.

P1 and P2 during a standing start in Mexico is no advantage. Those behind got slipstream: I expect Hamilton (P3) to try passing Verstappen and Leclerc in Turn 1. Let's see what Sainz (P4) can do.

Chas has been called to the stewards about the Perez clash.

From what I saw it was Kmag's right front suspension .

GuidoK · 10-29-2023, 04:11 PM

Every one on hards with the standing start...
Not the safest option for sure.

Some went to mediums.
But 36 laps on mediums?
