In a rather anonymous race that was rekindled only by the Alpine engine which abandoned Fernando Alonso in the finale Mexico, Max Verstappen he finished once again on the top step of the podium, also taking the victory after pole position without ever leaving the lead except in the pit stops, and the Sky driver of the day vote, another gem for Fanta F1. He who loves breaking records, in his mad race right on the circuit that saw him take more successes than any other driver, he shattered another by writing another history page that today takes the place of the controversy over the Budget Cap.
Max had two more hits to hit this record but he did it on the first strike without leaving even a shred of hope to his opponents. With 14 seasonal successes, he leaves behind other multiple world champions such as Sebastian Vettel and Michael Schumacher. Max has "still" two world championships but as long as he wants it won't be difficult to get more, with the help of a Red Bull strong in its double title. But if for some Mexico was a Seafood for others it was a MessiKO. So let's see the tops and flops of the Mexico City Grand Prix at Fanta F1!
TOP
MAX STAGES: La Red Bull he struggled all weekend but, as always, performance comes at the most important moment, and it's always him, Max Verstappen, who makes the difference. He climbs onto the most spectacular podium of the season astride his RB18, a crazed bull. He gives a caress to every tire he touches, returning it intact to the team even after so many laps. All he can take in terms of points if he takes it, and next week in Brazil he will try to rack up the points with Sprint.
LEWIS HAMILTON: Second podium in a row for Lewis Hamilton who keeps getting closer and dreaming of his first win of the season. At the start, he threatens Russell to re-establish the hierarchies in the Mercedes house since Lewis is definitely not willing to hang up his helmet. In two weeks we'll be back in Brazil, on one of the circuits dearest to Lewis and which saw him triumph last year.
ALEXANDER ALBON: In a really difficult race to follow with open eyes, the good Alexander Albon took home a decent amount of loot in the pockets of the Fantamanagers who fielded him in the Fanta F1. He finishes 11th with an excellent and silent comeback. A breath of fresh air after the latest disappointing results.
FLOPS
FERNANDO ALONSO: Fernando can't take it anymore, as well as the Fantamanagers who continue to field him at Fanta F1, sweating cold for every team radio in which the Spaniard complains about his car. Too bad because suffer another withdrawal for reliability, having among other things very recently changed elements of the PU is a real disgrace. Seeing the result of the last GP, one might say that Alpine gives, and Alpine takes away.
PIERRE GASLY: He has only two points left on his licence. A madman, since they announced it in Alpine he takes penalties without any sense of decency. He never misses an opportunity to complain to the team, a constant mumbling and little action on the track.
KEVIN MAGNUSSEN: The race was boring, ok but Kevin was several laps more than 2 seconds behind Latifi. Ok I repeat because maybe it is not clear. He was 2 seconds behind Latifi. A phantasma, ready for Halloween. And he didn't even finish last, otherwise we would have taken the poop of points necessary to at least achieve an acceptable result for those who paid him 16 Masi.
