Ha, sounds a bit like a broken watch is correct twice a day, @Giles!
Also, Lewis does fashion. Whether he is fashionable is something I will leave to others to comment.

okay, so I just checked out Jolyon's analysis, and despite singing his praises earlier, I gotta disagree with him on Oscar being free from liability in the sprint inchident. While do agree that it was a racing inchident, and also agree there was no need to penalize (DNF was penalty enough, especially including his teammate), Oscar was the primary cause, at least more than anyone else. Any other situation, that switchback squaring off the corner would have been a fantastic move, but not the first corner, where there is guaranteed to be half the field coming through that gap that he closed without reading the risk of that move in those conditions. It would have worked any other time. I think some cracks are forming from the pressure, but I also think he'll still get the WDC. Maybe the stewards did consider him at fault during their investigation but decided he'd punished himself enough already...
Don't get me wrong, I'm an Oscar fan, but I'm still rooting for the best driver on the grid to get his 5th. Its funny because he's an underdog this year.

Watching his post-race interview, I don't think Max is an underdog. I think he is enjoying the challenge of fighting back. Only thing more dangerous than an angry Max, might just be a happy Max.
It's going to be a tight end to the season.

My wife surprised me with some custom gear for my CDMX birthday celebration!

Qualy in CDMX was a blast! Love the starting grid and can hardly wait for tomorrow.
Think it, be it.

hope for a Ferrari 1-2

What's the atmosphere like @mclaincausey?
Those stands in Mexico makes it looks like the circuit drives through a football stadium. Must be an awesome vibe.

Man @mclaincausey you got to see a hell of a race! Hope you enjoyed it! Killer drive by Lando!

Why were the crowd booing Lando @mclaincausey?

Atmosphere was electric. They love their F1 down here and when Checo comes back in a Cadillac it’ll be even crazier.
It was an awesome race especially for someone pulling for Lando this season, and especially as an admirer of Max. I feel like Lewis was shafted by race control, and the VSC at the end denied us a spicy overtake battle between Charles and Max, but aside from those things a perfect race.
Lando has a lot of haters. I don’t get it. I think some of it is OP fans (some of that lot are so crazy they entertain conspiracy theories that McLaren has nerfed his car). Red Bull and Ferrari are also quite popular there, so perhaps some of the hate was coming from those fan bases.
We were in 15, the north stands in the stadium, for qualy, and then 14, the south stands in the stadium, for the race. While I am curious about other areas, this was a great area for sure.

Looks epic @mclaincausey thanks for sharing!
Never thought of visiting Mexico for a race but it sounds great.
How were the travel logistics getting in and out of the track each day?
