GPI 2016 Mexican Grand Prix | Page 2

RADIO GA-GA 2016.19 Reigning Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton won the Mexican Grand Prix, at the Autdoromo Hermanos Rodriguez, to add pressure on Mercedes teammate and title rival Nico Rosberg by reducing the points deficit between the pair to 19 points, with only two rounds remaining. In truth Hamilton did what he had to do, but then so did Rosberg - thus it was stalemate, but in a strange way advantage Nico. The real drama of the day was behind the dominant Silver Arrows duo. Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel slugged it with the Red Bull pair of Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen late in the race. What transpired was some thrilling wheel-to-wheel stuff and a barrage of trash talking straight out of a trailer park over the team radios. In a nutshell Max thought he was third but wasn’t. Seb thought he was third, even celebrating on the podium, but he wasn’t either. The pair were penalised for transgressions during those heated final laps, with third eventually going to Dan the Man. Yes we know it’s a long (confusing) story... we have it well covered in his issue. Enjoy!
