depends how you want to be remembered. i think schumacher being quadrospazzed on a life glug helps some of the perception of him, but when i think of him i think of the deliberate crashes and shithousery rather than what a great driver he was. verstappen could go the same way.

Urgh do I change my predictions or not
Surprised it hasn't been mentioned about Billy Mongers iron man achievement as he's one of their presenters

A Ferrari will win, the rest I don't dare guess but I still think RBs long runs look the weakest of the top 3. They also barely did any.
Feck it I think I'll keep think I did put a Ferrari to win, just the wrong one. Think I've been too reserved re Max's place
Don't think it's worth sacrificing the EBP

I decided against changing. But im sure I’ll regret it. I just thought if I changed it im not sure I’d get it right.
Isn't Mexico usually one of the most boring races of the year?
The high altitude makes it really difficult to overtake because it significantly diminishes DRS strength. So yes, it’s typically difficult to overtake.
Yeah it normally is.
Great run to turn 1 though
DNF for Max wouldn't go a miss.
Yep even though I didn't have pole I thought I can't throw the EBP and potentially still place everyone incorrectly
Yes please, we want to keep it as interesting as possible I know the constructors is close but want drivers to be the same. I'd say he needs 2 dnfs at least and Charles and Lando to consistently be podium placed in all remaining races to have any chance of them taking it off him
Madness 
Obviously I had Yuki in my top 10.

Yuki out at the first corner
And Albon
that was a close call for the camera man !!
Very lucky Yukis car didn’t do serious damage to anyone else
Sigh, Max leads
Max did what someone didn't do in previous years, and blocked the gap for someone coming up from behind

Alpine squeezed Albon and so ended up hitting Tsunoda. Hard luck really.
TBf you have to be a bit of a lunatic to dive into corner at high speed at a race start with relatively cold tyres and he s one of the few who is lunatic enough. His lunge in Mexico about 2 or 3 years ago was still one of the craziest ones I've seen.
Very harsh on Yuki this.
what is worrying is that one of the tyres detached from the car, thought they had things in place to stop that.
Perez being investigated for a false start
Obviously since no way he wins all those places on merit

Perez with maybe a false start, 10 second pen I think for that.
They’re going at such speed there though, there’s only so much you can do.

No ground made up by Oscar yet it doesn't look like the crash directly interfered with him?

just noticed, it was just the tyre, the actual wheel stayed on the car
Oh Checo
I'm not sure that was a false start tbf?
Probably played it safe. Sensible really given the chaos.Perez is being investigated for a false start

He lined up ahead of the marker I think?
Perez is right the start was great, pity the car was ahead of the line.
perez driving the wrong red bull to get away with stuff like that.
You can't be sure your brain is not that fast. That's why it's electronics job to determine it.
The sound of the cars, despite not being anything like the classics, must be awesome in the stadium area.
he may as well have started on lap 2.
Yeah they've said that now, surprised they didn't use the term not in his box, to me false start is going before the lights
Yeah agreed
Leclerc needs liquid people!
Guess we are guaranteed 1 stops now.
