Official FIA weather forecast has a 40% chance of a shower in FP3, which starts in just under an hour. For qualifying there a "significant risk of a developing shower that can easily become a thunderstorm."


and


uh-huh

Yeah Charlie, it's called track limits. It needs to be consistent in every race.

Charlie Whiting has issued a zero-tolerance warning for F1 cars running wide during MexicanGP qualifying and the race.

Tyre temp raised 20 to 21 psi for the slicks after yesterday’s FP1 & FP2 data

Lol i feel the next 3 sessions deserve a Dun Dun Dunnnnn... before they start

i thought lower psi means it'l keep the tyres cooler lol did i have it mixed up?

[jgonzalesm6]

Inters are on

[mwk360]

ted says mercedes were open about keeping there engines turned down as much as possible, he didnt get the same msg at ferrari(prob diddnt tell him) and that ferrari back to old specs(new parts arent working)

[jgonzalesm6]

Ferrari, MB, & RB will wait in the garage due to track conditions.

[mwk360]

Pole is supposedly not the best place to start, 2nd and 3rd are realistically better with the tow and slipstream effect

kimi using inters, hopefully we save inters even though it wont matter in the wet conditions imo

Fia Race Control:

• Track temp: 17°C
• Air temp: 15°C
• Humidity: 87%
• Wind speed: 6,4 km/h
• Risk of rain for this session: 20%

[mwk360]

RB hoping rain stays away lmao first time, since their car isnt as good as mercs in wet weather and are strong in dry they finally feeling the pain that rain could provide, well they did a lot of work on wet conditions in hungary tests so maybe they still would have a chance at pole

[mwk360]

max issue was supposedly hydraulic and nothing to do with his engine mode or reliability, according to horner problem could'v happen when he went over a bump and got worse

[mwk360]

kimi on hypers

[mwk360]

herbert says when ferrari goes full throttle theres a huge roar of the engine when the paddles initially pressed, compared to mercs who are more or less same sound all round

[mwk360]

Engine issues for Haas says TED, crofty gets info that its an intercooler? change

[mwk360]

leclerc goes p1 lol hopefully we see that much more from here on

[Ferrarichamp]

It doesn't look like we're gonna learn much from FP3, gotta to wait for qualy i guess.

[mwk360]

my boi seb on hypers too

[mwk360]

BOttas with a puff of smoke hmmm , he says its a hydraulic failure
