Pick the Podium - F-1 - Grand Premio de MÉXICO, Mexico City, Mexico, 2017

[Retroram52]

Vettel is running laps faster than second place Bottas right now. He may win this thing yet.

 

[Retroram52]

Hamilton is having an engine problem but if Vettel wins this thing, he may still have a chance.

 

[Retroram52]

Ocon pits.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Vettel is up to 13th and he is coming.

Still behind though, Hulkenburg and Perez both just pitted and remain well ahead of Vettel...I do think those two plan on pitting again

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Hamilton is being lapped

 

[Retroram52]

Vettel is picking them off one-by-one as he moves into 12th.

 

[Retroram52]

Hamilton's engine is dying. He is losing power as the race continues.

 

[Retroram52]

Bottas is second, Raikkonen moves into third.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Mexico is an interesting track, the top 3 teams really aren't blowing by everyone like they usually do

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Hamilton's engine is dying. He is losing power as the race continues.

Didn't hear the engine issue, I guess that's why he made no progress

 

[Retroram52]

A third of the race is complete and Vettel still has a chance to earn a podium finish.

 

[Retroram52]

I have a live feed of the leaderboard with commentary and that is what came-up for Hamilton, BSF. Grosjean received a 5-second penalty for passing Alonso on the grass. Here we go again.

 

[Retroram52]

Vettel passed Massa by leaving the track and he hasn't received a penalty yet. Haas just can't get a break from these Euros!

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Hulkenberg had a chance for a podium, so naturally his car failed on him

 

[Retroram52]

Hamilton is now in 18th and Vettel has moved into the top ten. This could get interesting.

 

[Retroram52]

Raikkonen is going to catch and pass Bottas here before long.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Vettel passed Massa by leaving the track and he hasn't received a penalty yet. Haas just can't get a break from these Euros!

He had a very angry rant about Massa shoving him off the track there

Magnussen is up to 6th

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Vettel is behind Alonso, that will hamper his progress

 

[Retroram52]

Hamilton is slowly working his way back to the front. He is now 17th.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Can't remember where Renault is in constructors but they really might end up regretting this race

4th and 5th after lap 1, now 18th and out
