Race director and stuarts made a mess of this,
I am lewis fan, but gets investagted for turn one,
he gets pushed off my leclerc , verstapen causes most of it and gets nothing,
Then Lewos gets pushed off from 3rd in turn 4 comes back on track in 3rd but gets penalty
for gaining advantage
, nobody else did anything wrong whole race
then with 1.5 laps left They put out virtual daftey car for car off behind barrios, then release
with 1/2 lap to go , which basically admits they were idiots, ruined what could have been amazing last 2 laps
with Verstapin chasing for 2nd and Piastri chasing for 4th, oh well don't want and racing
be ashame for F-1 to be instersting past trun one, lap one
Last but not least, gotta wonder why Piastri car is 8 tenths slower than Landos last 2 races
out of nowhere, did Pisatri all of sudden forget how to drive or does Maclaren think Lando would make better champion
we know they have there own rules, make a fellow wonder.
And George Russell is fast, but if he put energy that he wastes whining into driving he would be leading the world championship.
regardless of the BS, the drama for next seasons drive to survive should be epic and after all F1 does not want to be pure sporting
event, it wants to win best day tie Drama at the Emmys next year as well

Well, as races have been recently, Mexico was one of the more exciting ones. Not for the win of course, but at times there was some really good racing going on from 2nd place back. Sad Lewis had a lousy break. He had a great opportunity kind of robbed from him. The last two laps could have been nail biting, but we will never know. It could have ended in disaster as well..
It sure helps when they race on a track where it is possible to make a pass. This should be a mandatory requirement for any track they race at. Too many ridiculous circuits run every season, but it's all about the money, not great competitive races. There are certainly many far better courses to keep racing exciting, not just a follow the leader parade.
It seemed to me that Lando started off the season as McLaren's golden boy, but Piastri's results since proved otherwise. You could be correct in that they are somehow giving Lando an edge. I'd sure hope not, but wouldn't take much. One little tweak and a driver may not even pick up on it. Less chance of them taking out one another too.. Sponsor $ could play a role in this kind of potential malarkey. UK sponsor money wants UK Champion perhaps?
Yes, poor George kept begging to get let around the kid, but he sure didn't do much. To late maybe as his tires had taken a beating by then. Least he kept his word about giving Kimi back his position. No doubt they are both good, and there is some competition going on between them on the team. George wants to remain Mercedes top driver, like Leclerc wants to remain the A driver with Ferrari. I think this internal competitiveness hinders both the teams a bit, but it does make for some interesting times on the track.
Impressive weekend attendance at over 401,000. I guess when you have a city with a population (22 million). equal to more than half that of Canada's total population, it stands to reason..
Interesting interview with Perez, stating he believes he can make a come back. He kind of blames his failing at Red Bull on Max. I guess we will find out next season.
Old Jacque Villeneuve, always quick with criticism's, pointed out that nobody that's driven for Red Bull so far, including Perez, has the skills that Max has, so he has become their scapegoat. It does stand to reason though that Max would be given priority, until another driver can equal or surpass him.

ya strange race, with some Marsahll stuff and stewarts stuff as well. WHo knows about Maclaren, but eaier to sell LandoWell, as races have been recently, Mexico was one of the more exciting ones.

I like Lando, make a great World Champion, but something wierd is going on there 7/8 tenths is falling off a cliff in F-1
Max wel not his fault others can't keep up in a car built the way he wants and when you win like him
they will build it is way. WOnder if Hadjar really wants that seat LOL.
Your right about passing and it sucks, get rid of 90% of the down force and will solve dirty air and
drivers would have to drive. Teammates ya, its wierd for sure, both want on top, but racing each other is tricky busness.
