Before the race in Mexico: Who are the favorites for poles, points and of course victory?

Before the race weekend of the Mexican GP, ​​there are many questions about possible favorites to win, pole position, points and of course who could surprise.

Who is the hottest favorite for pole position?

On the last two Grand Prix races shared the first and second starting places only 0,09 seconds, which only shows that this year 's fight for the best starting position very tight. And to put more into that mix additional intrigue, we say they are in the last four races pole position won four different racers iz three different teams. Daniel Ricciardo was the last. On that basis, I should Red Bull in Mexico to conquer his third half in a row, as they have been very strong here for the last two years. And after it is Max Verstappn managed to win the baptismal pole position in Hungary, would be Dutchman definitely the red bulls ’pick for the best starting position. Of course, we must not forget about Alex Albon, who scored in Japan in the qualifiers the same time as a Dutchman.

Of course, we must not rule it out in any way Mercedes pole position, although the silver arrows on first place they haven't stood since the race for German GP. Hamilton fans have been missing him for six races. "great time"

circle, which is for the British the longest period without pole positiona from year 2015. His teammate Valtteri Bottas but so far in Mexico has not yet reached the top three places in the qualifiers. If not Mercedes Benz, but it will Red Bullu certainly opposed Classic Ferrari for sale. It is, after all Team subscribed after the summer break first start place for yourself. Not on top Mercedes and even less Honda engine you can't light a fiesta like Ferrari engine. And on 1,2 kilometers long plane it will be even more visible.

Who could win?

The main candidate to win is definitely Lewis Hamilton, especially because of his own efforts to secure his own sixth title already here in Mexico (although he himself does not believe in it, but it must be believed that he still wants it), by winning 14 points more as his teammate Valtteri Bottas. That would mean his the third coronation of the champion in Mexico, a venue therefore that Lewis should adore. Besides, you could Mercedes Benz here won his 100th Grand Prix victory. But if only that were so easy. Lewis Hamilton here in Mexico he has not won since 2016. And if Mercedes Benz he will not conquer the pole here position or the first starting rows will most likely remain without victory, because since 1990 all the winners started the race from the front row.

Last Ferrari's victory in Mexico he achieved Alain Prost , which means you are Team he is slowly earning a victory in this scene as well. Also because of forms of the last period they must be favorites as they won after the summer break five fields of positions in three wins of five races. The remaining two wins are theirs stole a Mercedes namely v Russia and on Japan, which most likely cannot be repeated. Winner of the last two races in Mexico, Max Verstappen, says to be Red Bull resolutely fights, and at red bulls it is different now as they have a new motor partner Hondo and because of this it will be interesting to see if they are as well Japanese aggregates suitable for it altitude as they were Renault.

Who could surprisingly find themselves on the podium?

The first name is for sure Alex Albon, who has shown excellent performances in the last five races, v Suzuki however, he almost succeeded in qualifying to defeat Max Verstappn. He is expected to continue to collect the points he won in the last seven races, and maybe even improved his best ranking fourth place, which would mean swirling honey the first three, which he has so far failed to do. But it’s all once for the first time.

Lewis Hamilton we must definitely count in the narrow circle of favorites for the podium, though British for three years he did not stand on the stage for the winners. If he succeeds this time, it will be his 100th podium at Mercedes. His teammate Valtteri Bottas but here in Mexico he hasn’t led at all yet, but has won podiums in the last two races and wins in Suzuki showed that the Finn had not yet given up fight for the title of champion.

Who will pick up the other good points?

So who will be in Mexico?The fury of the rest“? It's in a Suzuki Carlos Sainz for the team McLaren managed to win a further ranking among the top five. But Mexico so far she has not been kind to him since she is on last two races resigned. But this year it looks better and Sainz he believes he will win points on it again statistically speaking the worst scene. Maybe it will be the best of again the remaining racers for the first big three.
