And Arvin Lindblad is tooling around in Max's chassis right now in FP1 with all those updates.
Nine rookies in this FP1 - every team except Sauber (who have already met the requirement to run four rookie sessions in a season).
Which rookies are getting FP1 outings in Mexico?
Several rookie drivers will be in action during Friday’s first practice session at the Mexico City Grand Prix, with McLaren, Mercedes, Ferrari, Red Bull, Williams and Aston Martin all making line-up changes for FP1.

Lindblad looked strong in FP1. Well done. 👍
I am going to have to think of something silly to do if Max wins this season! It will be a worlds first if he comes back like that from such a point disadvantage! And with Lando and Oscar given the green light to race each other.. I can see a collision between them coming.
It’s going to be a struggle on Sunday. Max wasn’t happy after P2. This upgrade package was risky.
Lando really showing he’s found his confidence under pressure these last few races, Piastri suddenly lacking and frustrated and seems to have been so since Baku. Great pole for Lando and chuffed to see the Ferraris up there too, Lewis finally has a smile on his face!
Enjoying that grid big time! I expect Max to be able to move forward better than Oscar in the race though.
Great to see the Ferrari’s being competitive for a change. Hopefully they don’t stuff it up with strategy.
The McLaren’s looked so much more stable than the Red Bull. Those bumps were really unsettling Max.
I’m guessing an early night and then set the alarm to watch the highlights at half past midnight.
Looks like Red Bull made a serious miscalculation with the Floor and Edge Wing upgrades.
Indeed. Or are they just running so lowdown that the floor is bottoming out on the bumps?
Well sadly looking at Max’s quali position looks like you are right. Where did Ferrari come from though?!?!
Possible, although I didn’t see Max doing a Yuki on any curbs. I’m interested in their engine modes as well. Max is on his final ICE without penalty.
Incredible WDC continues. Well done to Lando. Not much of a challenge for him. DOD, IMO, to Max for that INSANE last stint for P3. Only needed another lap for P2. VSC at the end was cow piles. Impressive P4 for Bearman.
Brazil is going to be a great weekend. I’m stoked.

So:
- Max crashes into to Lewis on purposes like he always does. No penalty
- Max overtakes Lewis by cutting the corner. No penalty.
- Lewis cuts the corner. 10 second penalty.
Best part is, Lewis didn't even gain an "unfair advantage" on Max, as Max got ahead of him by crashing into Lewis and illegally cutting the corner. Max shouldn't even be ahead of Lewis in the first place.
Max is the golden boy of F1 who can do nothing wrong. They even engineered a WDC for him by changing the safety car procedures on the fly, something that has never happened before in the history of F1.
To make it even more funny, Lewis should have been ahead of Charles, as Charles overtook Lewis by cutting the corners too. So Lewis was driving "out of position" and he wasn't gaining positions that was unfair.

That VSC was surely not needed. It is such a frustrating part of modern F1.
It's a fact though. Max is crashing and cutting the corners and nothing happens, while Lewis wasn't even gaining an "unfair advantage" as his real position was in front of Charles, as Charles cut the corners too to overtake Lewis.
Even Schumacher would get penalized for the stuff Max does, and he and Ferrari was favoured by the FIA back then.
Mclaren can now impose team orders and get the drivers championship result they wanted all along. A few little tweaks to engine performance should do it without being too obvious. Given the Papaya rules nobody trusts them or believes anything they say.
FIA is now MIA? The Max International Assistance?

lol I know right.. everyone moaning about Max and ignoring the facts. Lewis deserved his 10 second penalty as he ignored the Race Directors instructions on how to rejoin at that corner and he cut it gaining a 2 second advantage he did not give back.. Max did not.
A good proper scrap today. And a THREE way battle for the Drivers Championship! I never expected that at all third way through the season.

It’s happening.. the comeback is complete. Lets hope he can win it now. Come on Lando.
It’s actually very restrained in here. After all, it’s a Mac Tech Site. 😉

Just like Zak is the LGTC. Lando Gets The Call. 😉

Busy with my son's wedding in Minnesota this weekend and travellinghome today.
I've no idea what has transpired other than Lando won.
What happened to Sainz?
