Pick the Podium - F-1 - Gran Premio De Mexico, Mexico City, 2018

[Retroram52]

Vettel gets by Ricciardo for third.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

That was also huge for me

 

[Retroram52]

Doesn't look like Hamilton is going to catch Verstappen with present conditions.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Ferrari may have won the strategy game here

the fresher tires are clearly helping Vettel, I'm worried he could get Verstappen too

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

He won't catch and pass him, but the bigger concern is if Vettel's tires can make it and Verstappen's can't

 

[Retroram52]

Vettel gets by Hamilton for second. Still not good enough for Vettel to get back in the championship hunt.

 

[Retroram52]

Verstappen may lose his tires as the race goes on.

 

[Retroram52]

Vettel is running the fastest laps right now and he may catch Verstappen at this rate.

 

[Retroram52]

Perez retires.

 

[Retroram52]

Vettel is gaining on Verstappen.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Hamilton's tires are definitely going

Ricciardo is looking to take the spot

Mercedes aren't as good on tires in the heat

 

[Retroram52]

Ricciardo is after Hamilton.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Hamilton locked up and went off the track giving Ricciardo the place

Looks like this will open up pitting for everyone

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

LOL!! Bottas just did the exact same thing Hamilton did in the same corner

 

[Retroram52]

Riccardo takes third.

 

[Retroram52]

Verstappen is into the pits.

 

[Retroram52]

Verstappen still comes out in the lead. Hamilton falls to fifth and will take the championship today if he stays there.

 

[Retroram52]

Ricciardo is just six seconds back of Verstappen.

 

[Retroram52]

Raikkonen has fought back to fourth.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

A big gamble by Red Bull to keep Ricciardo out of the pits, he's going to have to hold off Vettel and Hamilton on old tires
