The Mexican race, which was watched by just under 350 spectators at the race weekend, served up an interesting show, and in the end it was a little surprisingly, Lewis Hamilton decided in his favor, who took advantage of good (but rather risky) team tactics and achieved his 83rd victory.
Immediately after the start, they first touched first Hag in Hamilton, where the latter had to give in due to the German's closure, and then the Briton got involved in the first turn with Max Verstappn and they both drove to the grass. He used it all to his advantage Alex Albon, which swung to third place.
It's only a little later Verstappen overtook Bottas, collided lightly with him, which was enough to be punctured the rear right tire and after almost the whole circle, driven on the rim, continued at the beginning.
We then watched a series of crash stops in the pits. In the thirteenth round, Norris turned into the pits that were his poorly tightened front left wheel, which the racer noticed himself and stopped after a few meters. A few laps later, the rear right wheel of the Alfa was badly screwed on Giovinazzi's race car, The Italian drove off and the car fell to the ground, injuring the mechanic more easily.
Meanwhile, Verstappen continued its march towards the points, finishing 13th while overtaking Magnussen. a little stroked Haas ’race car as well, but a few rounds later he managed to break through among the current points winners. Lewis Hamilton after changing wheels in the 23rd lap, he started complaining about the choice of tactics and the hard tires themselves. In the 38th lap, he also stopped in the pits sebastian vettel, who also continued on the hard mix, and in the 43rd lap he also drove into boxing Charles Leclerc, in which something got stuck, causing Monaco to lose a few precious seconds.
For the next twenty laps, we watched an interesting race in which the first four racers raced in less than ten seconds, and much more happening was in the second and third thirds. He got out of the race first said Norris, who had no chance of a better ranking, and Alfa called in the pits Kimi Räikönen, who finished this year in the XNUMXth round GP of Mexico. A very interesting duel was staged for 7th place by the home matador Czech Perez in Daniel Ricciardo, who, despite many attempts, could not pass the stubborn Mexican.
The last few laps it has Sebastian Vettel tried to get close to Hamilton, but on the other hand Bottas was breathing down his collar, so there was no real attack until the end and Hamilton defended the first place without any major problems. In the last round, they collided on Rus' "initiative" Kvyat in Hulkenberg, so the Russian is most likely still awaiting punishment.
