Formula One Mexican Grand Prix 2019 What to Watch
This weekend, the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez track in Mexico City will host the eighteenth race of the 2019 FIA Formula 1 World Championship. In 2015, the Mexican Grand Prix made a comeback to the Formula 1 schedule.
As Formula 1 swings across the Americas, we now have the three races that are staged in close proximity to one other in Mexico, the USA, and Brazil, culminating in the final race in Abu Dhabi.
The Mexican Grand Prix is being held for the twentieth time at the track, which was first constructed around the Magdalena Mixiuhca public park. Later, the circuit was renamed in honor of Ricardo and Pedro Rodríguez, two well-known Mexican racers and brothers.
The legendary Jim Clark of Lotus won the inaugural Mexican Grand Prix in 1963. The Grand Prix took a lengthy break after eight races before making a comeback in 1986. The event was removed off the calendar in 1971 because to crowd control issues.
The event was not held for another twenty-two years after seven more races in 1986. When Mercedes returned to the Formula 1 schedule in 2015, Nico Rosberg emerged victorious.
Herman Tilke redesigned the current course, which features the breathtaking Foro Sol baseball stadium section that splits the well-known Peraltada bend.
With spectators crammed into the stands, the race has a vibrant Mexican Fiesta vibe. The stadium portion provides a great backdrop for the podium ceremony. The Mexican Grand Prix has been the site of Lewis Hamilton's last two world titles.
After starting the 2019 Japanese Grand Prix in third place on the starting grid, Valtteri Bottas had a brilliant start and easily won the race. After dominating Saturday, Ferrari appeared to lose the lead once more on race day.
Sebastian Vettel was on pole, as Ferrari enjoyed a front row lockout. The German was joined in the front row by Charles Leclerc. Hamilton and Bottas began in the second row. Alexander Albon and Max Verstappen occupied the third row.
Romain Grosjean, Pierre Gasly, Lando Norris, and Carlos Sainz began at the front of the grid. Every driver in the top ten started on soft compound tires with red stripes.
Vettel lost the start when he started then stopped to prevent a false start, and Bottas was able to lead the pack into Turn 1 because of the delayed launch.
The Dutchman was thrown off the track and rejoined at the rear of the race when Leclerc and Verstappen collided behind them at Turn 2. Even though Leclerc's front wing was damaged, he continued to race for two more circuits, throwing debris onto the track and the pursuing Hamilton.
Leclerc received a 5-second time penalty and an additional 10-second time penalty for continuing to drive the car in a "unsafe condition" following the Leclerc and Verstappen incident on lap 1 following the post-race investigation.
Leclerc dropped from sixth to seventh place in the race classification as a result of the stewards' double penalty following the race. At that time, Daniel Ricciardo was moved up to sixth place.
Following the race, the Racing Point F1 team filed a protest against the Renault F1 team for allegedly violating the FIA International Sporting Code and the Sporting and Technical Regulations in relation to a "pre-set, automated brake bias system."
Following a post-race examination of the Leclerc and Verstappen incident on lap 1, Leclerc was given a 5-second time penalty and an additional 10-second time penalty for continuing to drive the car in a "unsafe condition."
Following the race, Leclerc was demoted from sixth to seventh place in the race classification due to the stewards' double penalty. Daniel Ricciardo was then moved up to sixth place.
Due to an alleged violation of the Sporting and Technical Regulations and the FIA International Sporting Code concerning a "pre-set, automated brake bias system," the Racing Point F1 team filed a protest against the Renault F1 team following the race.
The Renault F1 team was disqualified and the two drivers lost the nine points they earned in the Japanese Grand Prix after the FIA upheld this protest on the eve of the Mexican Grand Prix. The disqualification may be appealed by the French team.
Ironically, Leclerc has been re-promoted to sixth place, while Ricciardo loses that spot. The French squad has now lost nine points, and Nico Hulkenberg has been removed from tenth place.
It was Bottas' third victory of the 2019 season and his first race since the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in April. Hamilton and Vettel finished on the podium.
Albon achieved his highest-ever Formula 1 finish in fourth place. Sainz secured fifth place with a nice drive. Ricciardo's disqualification has now moved Leclerc up to sixth place.
Perez is currently ranked eighth, and Gasly has been moved up to seventh place. On the last lap, Perez crashed out after becoming entangled with Gasly. The race ended one lap before the 53-lap mark due to a malfunctioning system.
Since the two Renault drivers were disqualified, Lance Stroll and Daniil Kvyat have been moved up to ninth and tenth place, respectively.
