Mexican Grand Prix FP2 Results

It doesn’t look like Hamilton will clench his 6th straight drivers title in Mexico barring a Valtteri melt down. Similar to last year we see Ferrari and Red Bull own the first two sectors with the third being a toss up. Mercedes couldn’t compete in any of the sectors and put Lewis Hamilton in P5.

Mexican Grand Prix FP2 Best Of The Rest Strong Run

The best of the race are bleeding more and more into the top team’s pace with both the Toro Tosso’s in hot pursuit of Hamilton. One false move tomorrow and we could see a promotion of Kvyat or Gasly as both look on it in FP2. Carlos Sainz, Mr. Smooth Operator himself, continues to be reliable ends P8 him teammate pulling a respectiable P10. While these rookies like Norris and Albon get looks at these circuits sometimes in other series events, it’s always impressive to see them hop in an Formula 1 car and run this well. Albon look especially strong before his shunt so I expect a massive return & charge should he need to replace that gear box similar to his first SPA charge and also his Sochi charge from pit lane.

Last but certainly not least we see a return of George Russell who sat out when Nicholas Latifi took his seat in the Mexican Grand Prix FP1 session. Expect to see Latifi drive FP1 in the next two races as well as part of Williams regular programme they planned to get a good look at the FP2 standout. Bringing up the rear is Kubica who is set to leave. Rumors have him being highly considered as a simulator driver for Haas – personally, I think he’d excel in that role and it’s exactly what Haas need to develop that car.
