Of course, I'll be fired up if Max wins but most of all, I want Checo on P1 in Mexico.

It would be a nice thank you from Max to Checo depending on certain factors, danger man being HAM like he was in Austin and Checo's wing end plate flying off preventing him from getting second place in time there.

[M5Rick]

Merc's banned front wing for Austin which was on display there will be worked on to make an attempt for it to be Fia legal for Mexico according to Wolff.
It was banned when it was discovered that there was aero wash to the outside of car to avoid the front tyres and how they will try to do this in the space of a few days will be interesting.

Sure , think that's the RB plan .But it depends on the circumstances at the crucial moments .

90% MAX / 10% Checo

Look at this, HAM was complaining to Max that he overtook him for the lead at Austin, understandably Max's reply to him was inaudible 1

For anyone trying to take credit away from Max for matching Schumacher and Vettel, enjoy the following facts:

Vettel's average starting position on his 13 win season: 1.38
Schumacher's average starting position on his 13 win season: 1.85
Max's average starting position as of USGP: 3.92

You're watching history in the making - sit back and enjoy.

Gone are the days with starting from pole and winning, Max the Lion comes from a few places back and the ones in front know their lead is usually temporary.

HAM moaning and crying again that the 'cost cap' brought memories back (for the umpteenth time) of Abu dabi in that he's hurt to go through that again reminded of it, 1

I have nothing but the utmost respect for the folks on your side of the pond. Lived in London, worked there, would love to permanently relocate. Just good people all around.
However...the F1 Brits are sulky, excuse-ridden backstabbing rats. I can't stand Christian Horner, but maybe that's how Drive to Survive portrays him compared to other team bosses. HAM is clearly those things, no need to portray.
What's the deal?

*EDIT

According to MAX today :
Checo knows what his mission is in Mexico ..
And that's to beat Charlie . At least if Checo wants to fight to get P2 in the WDC .

I'll drive as usual for the victory...
MAX are you going to break the record ?
I don't care about the record .

IF the two RB's get away from HAM,LEC and co enough but it will be tough for them on the high downforce track way above sea level.

Max's new helmet is amazing
