If 6th is safe then yes. If it's looking under pressure from a fast non-top six car then he'll be 5th because Bottas will let him through.

Lewis Hamilton endured a difficult race at Mexico, but it was more than enough to secure a legendary fifth World Championship, equalling Juan Manual Fangio and coming ever closer to Michael Schumacher's illustrious 7 titles.

Yes, they had to turn down the PU quite a bit. And this was an old, "Free Practice" PU, also.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑27 Oct 2018, 01:30I'm not sure he's worried about the title, to be fair, because the odds are massively his way. He did have some PU issues during FP, however, which won't have helped his mood/confidence. I'm sure they'll have a play over night and figure something out.
If he DNFs Hamilton, expect a clamour for a 1997-style penalty...
Vettel a penalty? A ten seconds one at the most.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑27 Oct 2018, 09:15If he DNFs Hamilton, expect a clamour for a 1997-style penalty...
Looking at the speed at the start of the vid, the damage is already done through the corner. Even though the Ferrari may have more power, my money is still on the Red BullJuzh wrote: ↑27 Oct 2018, 11:48A quick ferrari vs red bull comparison on the main straight from fp2:

Synced from the start/finish line ferrari is around ~3 tenths faster. If you include the entire straight from the last corner the advantage is 4 tenths for ferrari. We know for a fact ferrari (and mercedes) can turn their engines up much more for qualifying so I expect the difference to grow even higher.
So despite all that red bull still says the engine differences are lower here, which is what makes them more competitive...Makes you think on a normal track renault deficit must be quite insane if you would count all the straights, not just the major ones.
Lewis can go home now. Vettel won't win with the pace of the Bulls.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑27 Oct 2018, 01:32If 6th is safe then yes. If it's looking under pressure from a fast non-top six car then he'll be 5th because Bottas will let him through.
Was thinkig the same, unless the 2 Red Bull suffer reliability problems it`s looking likely either Max or Dan will bag this one.NathanOlder wrote: ↑27 Oct 2018, 13:45Lewis can go home now. Vettel won't win with the pace of the Bulls.
