If I’m Netflix producer for DTS, I’d be licking my lips after today ??
• Esteban Ocon dropped by Haas
• Alonso saying he’s rage quitting straight to Brazil
• Both Red Bull teams taking grid penalties
• Verstappen taking jabs at Lawson
• Lawson DQ’d
• Oscar Piastri missing out on Q3
• Lewis Hamilton’s first starting pole for Ferrari
Mexico City episode is about to be a banger!

Can someone explain this to a race fan that doesn't have degree in molecular biology, wants grid girls back, and just wants cars to go as fast as possible?

He triggered the engine into limp home mode.
This was banned after Merc and come others were doing it earlier in the year to get an advantage.
The idea is that you can take advantage of s loophole by expending more energy than allowed from the last turn to the finish line. The downside is the PU goes into failsafe and takes 30 seconds or so to get back up on power, leaving you as a sitting duck. Japan exposed what a safety issue this was. Teams using the trick didn't care they were in limp home mode because they weren't on a competitive lap.
Sounds like Lawson triggered the mode and was punished. RB argued he didn't gain an advantage, but the rule is more about safety than advantage.

Thankfully we still have historic car races so we can hear what a race car is supposed to sound like

So Ocon is denying physical contact, but reports are that he may have punched Ayao 
I've never like Ocon, not that he's ever done anything in particular I can remember, he just comes across as a dick with a sense of entitlement that wasn't earned.

Yep.
quote:
“Last night, a difference in viewpoints led to a discussion with the parties involved,” Ocon’s post read. “Whilst I acknowledge that this took place, I categorically reject any reports or allegations suggesting that any form of physical violence was used to resolve any differences of any nature. “I strongly condemn violence in all its forms and firmly believe that disagreements should always be handled with professionalism, respect, and mutual understanding.”

People might have stepped in between them before it got to punches.

It is Rumored that Ocon is going to Aston Martin as a reserve driver

So leading the TD F1 2026 championship with 142 points are auisssa and WAY2GOLSU, with auisssa holding the edge with more race wins.
I wanted to show their prediction lists for the Mexican GP because they are impressively close. Great minds think alike.
The first nine drivers are idential except for swapped Ferrari drivers. auisssa should have the edge here with Hamilton ahead.
They have Hulk in the same position but swap Gasly and Lindblad.
They have Bearman, Bortoleto, and Colapinto in roughly the same positions. WAY2GOLSU has Colapinto leading this group, auisssa has him at the back of the group. Colapinto is such a wildcard it's hard to know which is a better prediction.
They have Sainz and Albon in the same positions.
The biggest differences are where they have the Aston Martin drivers, and where they have Ocon. They're both going to get zero points for Ocon, but auisssa has him in P16, the first position with the higher 1.2x weight factor. WAY2GOLSU has Alonso in P16. So I think WAY2GOLSU has the edge here.
The funniest prediction here is auisssa has Checo in dead last, a nod to his desperate first-lap move in a recent Mexican GP. I had to look up when that was, it was three years ago! I think the best odds are for Bottas or Stroll to end up last, so I think WAY2GOLSU has the edge at the very back of the grid.
So their races are going to hinge on these predictions:
Lewis / Charles
Gasly / Linblad
Colapinto ahead or behind Bearman/Bortoleto
Alonso and Perez near the bottom

Let's go!
Kimi needs to just finish P9 to wrap up the championship and be the youngest F1 champion by three years.

Let's do this.
I really don't see what's so emotional about the Mexican national anthem, though.

Charles so spicy

That has to be a penalty for LeClerc

Nico doing color commentary on Sky sports feed which is always entertaining with him criticizing Lewis.
Posted on 11/1/26 at 2:08 pm to s14suspense
They both went off, and I think Charl was ahead of him at the moment they went off anyway.
Posted on 11/1/26 at 2:10 pm to blueboy
Went off and gained a position
AM already over 49 seconds back

Fernando should have just gone to Brazil like he joked

Well I predicted Stroll at 21. I got one right

Both Aston Martins are done.
