Former Formula 1 driver Timo Glock in the author’s column for the German version of the Sky TV channel commented on the events of the last Mexico City Grand Prix…
Max Verstappen broke the record of Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel with his fourteenth victory of the season. For such an achievement, you can only take off your hat. Frankly, I did not expect this at the start of the season, but the result shows how successful the Red Bull and Max Verstappen combination is and we can expect more from them in the future. Max is an outstanding driver and he is determined to make his mark in history this season.
It remains to be seen whether Red Bull will continue to dominate after being fined for going over budget, and the current system, which cuts the best teams in the constructors’ championship to work in the wind tunnel, will also fill the gaps. .
In addition to Red Bull, it is necessary to follow the performance of Lewis Hamilton, George Russell and Ferrari. However, another team, such as McLaren, can also reach the top.
Lewis Hamilton has said he wants to extend his contract with Mercedes. In Mexico he showed that he was fully motivated. The team was able to solve the problems with the build-up of the car on the straights that they had at the start of the season – this shows the strength of Mercedes.
Ferrari continues to make mistakes, so it is possible that Mercedes will overtake them in the constructors’ championship. It won’t be easy to get 40 points back in two races, but nothing is impossible.
I think Mick Schumacher did well in Mexico. It’s a shame that he overstepped the limits of the track in qualifying, but in one lap he was much faster than his partner. Unfortunately this didn’t help in the race. It may have something to do with the track temperature, but either way, both Haas cars failed to score.
It will be a few more years before Audi makes its debut in Formula 1, and for Mick such a period can be a problem. After all, it would be great if a German racer like Mick competed for the German automaker’s team.
