That was a very significant win for Max last time out. Mercedes have to find a way to beat Red Bull this weekend with five races to go in six weeks with 12 points difference.<\/p>\n You don\u2019t want that number to be building up because then you\u2019re hoping for a DNF [from your rival]. And you\u2019re not always going to get a DNF. Mercedes won\u2019t say they have to beat Red Bull here, but I think they need to this weekend.<\/p>\n DC:<\/strong> He\u2019s the man that the vast majority of this crowd want to see do well, which poses Red Bull a problem. If he is doing well, and he is leading Max and they want to swap it around and use team orders, do you make that call? Sergio has said he\u2019ll do what he can for the team, he\u2019s not in the hunt for the title, but it wouldn\u2019t go down hugely well.<\/p>\n I just think it\u2019s nice to see a settled Perez. He knows his qualifying has not been on the par that he wants it to be but his racecraft has not diminished. And he\u2019s providing that support to Max. Wouldn\u2019t it be great for the sport to see Sergio win in Mexico? Wouldn\u2019t it just be a wonderful human outpouring of emotion to see that happen? Those things stick with you for a long while. I would love to see him win this race.<\/p>\n DC:<\/strong> It\u2019s a long run down to Turn 1, which gives you plenty of time to settle things down, then plenty of carnage. Then going into into Turn 3, 4 and 5 as well, there are overtaking possibilities here. It was an easy one-stop race on these same type compounds as we\u2019ve had before. I like the track; it\u2019s fast. You get higher speeds here than you do in Monza! Valtteri Bottas, 231 miles an hour, the fastest official speed trap in qualifying here a few years ago when he was driving for Williams.<\/p>\n You run Monaco levels of downforce to achieve a very slippery car through the air, the air is very thin here, 2.2km up in the clouds. The result of which puts quite a strain on the internal combustion engines, but that\u2019s negated by the fact the turbos work an awful lot better. That\u2019s one of the keys to Red Bull\u2019s success here over the years, their turbo has worked very efficiently.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for something else to watch, check out our\u00a0<\/b>TV Guid<\/b>e<\/strong><\/span><\/a> or visit our Sport<\/a> hub.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/body><\/html>\n By Michael Potts Published: Thursday, 04 November 2021 at 12:00 am The F1 calendar 2021 has entered the global tour leg of the season with the Americas at the forefront of the drama: the Mexico City Grand Prix is up next on the agenda.
