Charles has made me so angry that I’m literally out here supporting Max Verstappen. DO YOU KNOW HOW BAD THINGS HAVE TO GET FOR ME TO DO THAT?! 😡 #MexicoGP #F1

🗣️ Lewis: “The stewards are basically handing Charles this win.” “We agreed, in the drivers’ briefing.” So there was apparently an agreement made during the drivers’ briefing, and Lewis is clearly frustrated with how the stewards are handling this. #MexicoGP #F1

🎙️ Engineer: “Leclerc has been given a 5-second penalty. Hamilton is already 5 seconds behind him…” 🗣️ Max: “Ha! I thought all the new penalties were 10?” Even Max is questioning the 5-second penalty! 😭😭 #MexicoGP #F1

Charles Leclerc getting only a 5-second penalty is ridiculous. That should have been 10 seconds🙄 #MexicoGP #F1

Ted wondering why Lewis and Charles couldn't work together… Well, teamwork requires effort from both drivers, and it seems like Lewis is the only one interested in making it happen 🙃 #MexicoGP #F1

#MexicoGP 🇲🇽 | Lewis Hamilton during the Drivers’ Parade ahead of today’s race: 🎙️ “To start racking up some first places would be amazing, that’s what we’ve been working towards.” “We’ve got some incredibly strong competitors behind us. It’ll be massively challenging but I’m ready for it.” #LewisHamilton #F1

🚨 | LEWIS HAMILTON IS ON POLE, BUT THERE'S ONE BIG UNKNOWN HEADING INTO THE MEXICO GP! His FP2 power-unit issue cost him crucial long-run data, meaning Lewis heads into the race without knowing exactly how his SF-26 will behave on a full tank of fuel. Charles Leclerc's strong long run gives Ferrari some useful information, but it won't tell Lewis everything about his own car. Pole position secured. Race pace still a question mark. 📰 AutoRacer | Cristiano Sponton #MexicoGP #F1

“We've been trying and trying, and failing, and failing, and failing, and you know, you just got to keep getting back up, keep getting back on the horse and keep giving it everything.” —Lewis Hamilton This picture. These words. This team. 🥹 #MexicoGP

🛞 | #MexicoGP 🇲🇽 RACE STRATEGY Pirelli expects a one-stop race, with Medium ➡️ Soft the leading option and a pit window around laps 35–41. But with that long run down to Turn 1, starting on the Soft could be VERY tempting. 👀Could we see some strategy gambles today? #F1
