[Retroram52]

Yea, all Hamilton has to do is score 5 points above Vettel as Vettel has to win the race to keep his championship hopes alive.

 

[Retroram52]

Alonso is out and the Safety Car is out.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

It's been so long since we had a championship go down to the wire, maybe next year we will see that happen

 

[Retroram52]

Bottas didn't like that escort-off-the-track by Vettel on Lap one.

 

[Retroram52]

Verstappen is running lights-out right now. Hamilton is having tire issues and he can't get more speed as is Vettel.

 

[Retroram52]

Hamilton comes into the pits because his tires were just flat-out shot. He comes out fifth.

 

[Retroram52]

Red Bull is one-two followed by Ferrari three-four. The Mercs have gone to the pits first.

 

[Retroram52]

Ricciardo goes to the pits. Verstappen still leads Vettel. Vettel now leads as Verstappen is in the pits.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Navigated the pits well

Hopefully the tires last and there's no more pit stops

 

[Retroram52]

Vettel now leads Raikkonen, Verstappen, and Hamilton.

 

[Retroram52]

Vettel now leads Verstappen, Raikkonen, and Hamilton.

 

[Retroram52]

Hamilton now has some good tires.

 

[Retroram52]

HAmilton and Ricciardo get by Raikkonen.

 

[Retroram52]

Vettel still leads and is trying to make this race a one-stopper.

 

[Retroram52]

Verstappen is out in front ahead of Hamilton. Vettel falls to fourth.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

There will be more pit stops, not what I was hoping to see

so much can still go wrong

 

[Retroram52]

Hamilton has to finish in the top seven and Vettel doesn't win the race for Hamilton to take the championship today.

 

[Retroram52]

Yep BSF27, these tires aren't holding-up well in the Mexico weather.

 

[Retroram52]

There goes the large gap between Verstappen and Hamilton with the Virtual Safety Car is out.

 

[Retroram52]

HAmilton is gaining on Verstappen as is Vettel is trying to pass Ricciardo.
