As for Perez, well, I wonder what Williams does? Can the Mexican backers (Telmex) outbid Latifi? As we're talking about one of the biggest companies in the country, which is part of probably the biggest conglomerate in Latin America, they can. As if they're willing is another story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Perez is dropped from the grid I suppose the Mexican Grand Prix would in grave danger to be dropped as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they and the Mexican Army can get part of the booty of the Grand Prix, it will stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not into Mexican politics, isn't Telmex big enough that anyone in political power considers them acceptable? I mean, you're not driving the drug cartels out of business so what's the point of making more enemies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, problem is these crooks are basically interested in having the bigger slice; they already threatened to cancel the event as soon as they won the elections back in 2018; however they got their share, and despite previously said the event was for the neo liberals, decided to support it. I'm guessing Telmex might still organize the race thing if: they determine Mexican fans are willing to spend as much as they have, even if Perez is not in the circuit anymore, which is very likely. the current government keep their current monetary demands on "friendly" terms.

Monzanator 3,594 Posted September 13, 2020 #319 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Bottas jammed the pack in classic IndyCar fashion. This is what happens when the leader slows everyone down and the back of the pack takes off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,594 Posted September 13, 2020 #320 Share Posted September 13, 2020 LeClerc is dog slow on the main straight. To think Enzo Ferrari said aerodynamics is for people who can't build engines... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
