2015 Formula 1 Gran Premio De Mexico

[RX-7_FD3S]

Yeah the downforce play will be strange here, never envisioned Monza and Monaco style in one race

Yeah XD I wonder what kind of race we'll have, especially if weather is weird.

Max once again highlighting the poor Tesco car park school of design. Should be grass there.

There's also something like 20% less air going into the cooling ducts due to altitude, so cooling the cars will be a minor issue.

 

[GTFan24]

Hopefully we'll see rain again. It was great seeing red bull finally show some pace last week after the horrid season they've been having

Now if Murray Walker was commentating on that, I believe it would be something along the lines of:
"There is nothing wrong with that car, except the fact that it is on fire!"

Ah, good old Murray!

Man that's just awesome!

Sainz said it too the other day

 

[spyrrari]

How did they end up with a kink on the main straight? I thought it was, well, straight.

Oh geez. xD Talk about stereotyping...

Foxtel showing 1990s F1. Watching the pitcrews change rear tyres barehanded. Just crazy.

Vettel: "Here's the motorway".

Lost it when Raikkonen steps up to the mic. Wey.

Brazil doesn't get many earthquakes.

We don't get earthquakes at all, just the end of the ones that happen at Chile.

Actually from what I've read (I'm no specialist) they were saying that power wont be affect much

It will be affected though, and the amount it affects a team by will be, in part, due to their compressor size.

 

[Tired Tyres]

I saw it and actually watched old videos from the 90s before they stopped as well. It just didn't give me the impression of a long straight like China or Malaysia or Italy. And with the loss in power due to altitudes, this is quite amazing.

What loss of power? They are turbos so unless they can't adjust boost to compensate they should have the same power but 20% less air to push through therefore more speed.

The fact they were flying through pitlanes at 160mph was just as crazy. Always amazing to watch re-runs of that, and the pit lanes were full of people in shorts and t-shirts.

Max Verstoppen.

What loss of power? They are turbos so unless they can't adjust boost to compensate they should have the same power but 20% less air to push through therefore more speed.

Don't forget that thinner air also means less cooling. If you just crank up the boost you'll risk cooking the engine.

How is Mark Hughes still employed? The only thing he is an expert in is stating the damn obvious.

 

[MoLiEG]

1st practise results:

I don't want to get excited about Checo, I just hope he does well. Having F1 in our country is great already

 

[GTFan24]

VERSTAPPEN 1ST?! WHAT'S THIS WORLD THAT I LIVE IN?!

VERSTAPPEN 1ST?! WHAT'S THIS WORLD THAT I LIVE IN?!

A world where Mercedes are saving their fast lap for qualifying .

 

[Ingram]

I know plenty of folk have their gripes about the demise of the Peraltada, but I'm a big fan of the stadium section, if only because it's a unique feature among F1 circuits. It'll be an interesting place to watch should there be a chance for any last lap heroics, too..

Fortunately it works in Mexico City where there are enough people to fill it - it would probably look a bit tragic if they tried the same in Bahrain.

That is just great Should just be his answer to every question this weekend.

Just amazing to watch. We always think of how crazy the drivers were for getting into cars unsafe compared to today, but you had to be insane to want to be the guy who changed the tires while cars scream by that fast in only THAT attire.

 

[GTFan24]

I have a question, are there night lights at the track cause nbcsn has practice 2 listed at 11:30 pm tonight

 

[RACECAR]

I believe that's a re-air.

 

[GTFan24]

Tha

I believe that's a re-air.

Are u sure? Because its listed as "new" in the info page. And FP1 was earlier today

 

[mikeerfol]

FP2 finished 2 hours ago..

 

[GTPorsche]

It's a tape delay airing. Practice already happened.

 

[GTFan24]

Oh ok thanks, not sure why they wouldn't show it live though
