The special stage continued at the Mexican Grand Prix, in the second phase the field could test the Pirelli compounds for 2025. We did not escape the red flag this time either, this time George Russell crashed with the Mercedes.
As soon as free practice started, Russell lost control of his car on the exit of a corner and suffered a serious accident. At that time, we had no idea that this would be the "most exciting" moment of the practice and that we would have to worry about Russell's health, who complained of pain in his ribs. This was exactly the situation, while the Pirelli tire test was monotonously, boringly and quietly going on, during which the drivers used unmarked tires. So we didn't even know who was using which compound, at most we could guess from the time results. Only at the end of the practice did medium tires appear in some places, which only those who did not participate in FP1 could afford, but this did not change the overall picture. FP2 was eventually won by Carlos Sainz ahead of Oscar Piastre and Yuki Tsunoda, but today we did not learn anything new about the power ratios.
