What can we expect this weekend? The Mexican GP is one of the most interesting circuits in the Formula 1 calendar, offering a great spectacle for the fans watching both in the grandstands and on TV. Drivers are faced with a different obstacle this weekend as they combat high altitudes. Sergio Perez will surely be in the limelight, and he is expected to be one of the front runners now that the championship is decided.
Aside from the fun stuff, the cost cap breach investigation and penalty conclusion is yet to be confirmed by the FIA, as this was delayed due to the passing of Dietrich Mateschitz. There was a lot of talk between various team principals, and now, even the drivers are voicing their concerns about the issue, emphasising that every little drop counts in lap time in Formula 1.
Alpine has been some sort of a tank in recent weeks, as it flew across the track. Alonso was sent flying by his future teammate Lance Stroll but the car managed to withstand the impact, and the Spaniard managed to squeeze it back into the points. In Mexico, the track offers some great overtaking spots, and with the help of three DRS zones, we should be able to witness some great racing.
Race Winners
Another win for Max Verstappen in Austin, makes it 13 for this season, equalling the record of both Sebastian Vettel and Michael Schumacher for the most wins in a season. Should Max win in Mexico, which is priced at 4/7 (1.57), whilst native driver Sergio Perez is at 9/2 (5.50) to win his home GP. The Championship is all but lost for Charles Leclerc but a win priced at 9/2 (5.50) is well on the cards and would do well for the morale of the team going forward.
Podium Finishers
The podium could be shaped by the likes of Lewis Hamilton at 6/5 (2.20) despite Mercedes suffering in high altitudes, with the likes of Fernando Alonso spraying the champagne at 12/1 (13.00). A great performance is needed from the Spaniard Carlos Sainz, with a podium finish valued at 11/8 (2.37)
