As yesterday, the track continued to difficult at this track GP of Mexico. Welcome to the F1 this 2015 this Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez has been spectacular for the public, but this asphalt and the choice you made, Pirelli have not worked to the grip, however this is good for the show because we can see more errors than normal during the weekend and perhaps encourage the race tomorrow. And more if there is rain as the droplets in the views at the end of the classification.
In the session of free 3 little has changed with respect to what we saw yesterday, perhaps what is most remarkable is that the brake problems that we saw yesterday continue on some computers and this can be a problem for tomorrow. In addition, the car of Kimi Räikkönen began to take a smoke and fire for the rear and the Ferrari team ordered to stop the car. This has caused me to have to change the gearbox and have a penalty of 5 positions on the grid.
Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button have been mounted new engine in this race, which has cost him his appropriate sanction on the grill, 15 to Alonso and in the case of the Button, has broken a record with 50 positions of penalty for putting two ICE. But both engines Button have suffered problems and has lost the free today and have decided not to leave in classification to solve all the problems and have morning a reliable motor.
Red Bull seem very strong with these track conditions slippery and if tomorrow it rains as it seems that is expected, they could fight for positions fairly good and we have another interesting race like in Austin. This shows that they lack an engine, but the chassis going quite well. And other that have engine problems is Alonso, who has not been able to pass on the cut to Q2, and although they have cut something, even in this circuit so fast and little that is favorable to them.

there is Also a place for news and rumors in the GP of Mexico. Has occurred the official announcement of Haas F1 to its second seat, which will be occupied by Gutierrez as he thought. Ecclestone has also put its note, ensuring that you want the GP of Argentina back. And the icing on the cake is a rumor about persiones to Christian Horner’s quit the blame of being the main obstacle for Red Bull to find engine. Aston Martin also wants to return to the F1 (taking to the sponsor Johnny Walker) with the Force India team, which would powered by Mercedes but under the name of Aston Martin, something like Red Bull with Infinity (Renault), taking this output to Red Bull, which could have taken this idea to promote Aston Martin and be powered by Mercedes…
