Formula 1 Gran Premio de la Cuidad De México 2024Formula 1

[Jimlaad43]

Formula 1 heads up the Mexican Altiplano for its annual high-altitude Headache. The Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez being at over 2000m of elevation sees the highest speeds of the year due to low drag and a long straight, all despite having the highest aero levels to try and get some air to grip the car to the floor. Track Limits were a big sticking point at the last race when it comes to overtaking, so the grassy runoffs will give us a different set of complaints if it comes to rudely shoving drivers off the track. Leclerc brought himself into the title fight with a win in Austin, but can he or Norris mount any kind of challenge to Verstappen in these last 5 races. Without a Max DNF, probably not but we'll find out at the MEXICO CITY GRAND PRIX!

The weather forecast looks pretty good for the whole weekend with temperatures expected to be in the low 20s and there will be plenty of activities happening for the fans in and around the circuit to keep them entertained when nothing is happening on the track. The fans will have the chance to enjoy live music and take part in various events like SimRacing, Pit Stop Challenge, Virtual Pit Tours, and much more. The fans can also take part in this meetup where they can meet fellow F1 fans and discuss their passion while enjoying some great food at Mercado Roma where you can find a wide range of options to eat.

This snoozing around the track needs to stop. So many close calls in the past and very lucky again today that nobody got hurt in the Albon/Bearman incident.

So...does this mean Robert Shwartzman will be penalized for his first ever qualifying by default?

Also lmao, Russell.

Nasty hit for Russell, surprisingly shallow techpro barriers for such high speed spot.

Annoying that they haven't show the incident at full speed, harder to tell the severity from slomos.

Albons fault anyway.
