INSIDE DRIVERS' BRIEFING OF 2017 MEXICO F-1 GP:


Just as expected, the Briefing Session's hot topic was about the interpretation of track width limit and what was allowed and tolerated and what was not.

Anyway, if the Stewards had enforced the ruling, which was there for ages, each and every time or at least issue warning to drivers re infringement, this will never be an issue.

Now there are whispers that FIA = Ferrari Interest Assistance!    

(FIA is the FRENCH abbreviation of International Automobile Federation.)

Hamilton will have to start from the last row as he crashed out during practice, and there is no time to repair his car for the Official Qualifying.

Due to his crash, he will have no time, so must start from the rear although he won 2017's Championship already.

Bottas picked up where Hamilton left off by qualifying first in tomorrow's 2017 Brazilian F-1 GP, followed by Vettel and Kimi Rikkonen.

Here is a view on Vettel clipping Hamilton's rear tire at the Mexican F-1 GP:

It is a border line case IMHO.  However, if Vettel was disqualified + banned for 3 races after he intentionally hitting Hamilton a few races ago.  Vettel will learn a lesson and would think twice before attempting any questionable maneuvers.

Anyway, Vettel is a DIRTY DRIVER, that we know!

The 2017 Brazilian F-1 GP has just finished.

Vettel beat Bottas at the first corner, then led all the way to the finish.

Hamilton started last but finished in 4th, just short of a podium finish, behind Kimi.  Impressive performance for having to start from the pit lane.

The final race of the 2017 season will be held in Abu Dhabi on NOV26 .

Since the Drivers' and Constructors' Championship have already been decided, the event is just a formality if not an anti-climax.

I always feel that the final race should always be held in a country of great racing heritage. Two countries come to my mind, England and Brazil (as a tribute to Aryton Senna), and not a middle east country made famous by oil money.
