Well qualifying is over, if the race is anything like this it should be a nail biter.

RB looked really good, but Hamilton is right between them and that first turn is really sharp.
Lots of chances for vehicles to lose a front wing or something worse.

I was really surprised to see how bumpy this track has become.  Apparently the riders of MotoGP really complained about it this year at their race.   

Can't wait to watch.

That was a great race.  Nail Biter right to the end.
Great day for RB. 
Perez takes over 4th place and RB closes the distance on the Constructors and Max extends his lead.
Some good racing mid pack

Not a bad race.

Hate when my local network has the race, they always put up some chyron on the screen blocking the race stats or other info.

Can't say I am a fan of Danica, hope she is a one time only thing.

I wasn't a fan of Danica when she was in a race car (notice I didn't say racing) 

Yes it was a fun race to watch.

Danica was a PR stunt.  Any guy with that level of non-talent would have been dropped ages ago.
She is also another hypocrite.  She didn't have a problem waltzing around in a bikini when she was being paid by GoDaddy but then dropped the ol women as objects b.s.   I haven't heard of her giving her money back.

Thankfully I recorded it and I fast forwarded through all of her stuff in the beginning, watched the race and checked out when I saw she was doing the interviews.
They need to keep bringing back Rossberg.  His commentary is so much better than everyone else since he bring with him recent and actual experience.

It was a good race, but I can't believe how much faster the top 2 were compared to 3rd place onward. 

Very good result for RB all the way around.
Perez moved up to 4th, If he can keep closing on Bottas and Verstappen keeps winning,  RB may be able to get both the driver and constructors championship.

Still far from over and can swing either way.  Finally a really exciting battle right to the last race.  Been a long while

I agree totally.   Less or no DP

I love the one turn that goes in between the 2 sets of bleachers in Mexico.  That corner was designed for the fans.

Very cool day today for Perez.  His father was going crazy.  That was pretty awesome to watch. 

1 point separates MB from RB in the constructors.  This is going down to the wire.

I feel bad for Bottas, why is it that MB hoses his pit stops when it really matters?

I am thinking Ham is going to finish in second this year, it will be close but Max will pull it off.

I liked the grid walk where Martin was handed the Oscar and then told "he could because he did."

Watching P2 Hamilton might be in trouble and have his qually time disqualified.  Something to do with how far the flap opened.  They may have a out though as Verstaphen was seen touching and looking at it very closely after qually

Vestaphen fined ?50,000
Hamilton disqualified and started from last place.

Ham drove through the field and ended up in 5th, so he will start from 10th
