My early predictions are in the favor of McLaren, i think McLaren struggling in COTA was based on the car not suitable for that race track , in my opinion McLaren will do a comeback in Mexico and that means norris 1st , leclerc p2, piastri p3 Hamilton p4 russel p5 and for a twist i am putting verstappen as dnf either engine issue or a crash . Please any verstappen fan don't tak it seriously its just a prediction 😊

[@youngoriginal03]

i agree about McLaren, but I’m a mercedes fan and even I’m not that optimistic about the silver arrows. hopefully they can be in contention as the more cars competing at the front, the better My top 5 is Norris(1), Piastri(2), Charles(3), Max(4), and Sainz(5)

[@kritarthos8386]

Love your videos man. Excellent and detailed analysis; top quality mate

[@MrPulseF1]

Thank you so much as always my friend

[@TheBasketballFix]

Another great preview!

[@MrPulseF1]

Thanks man, I really appreciate it

[@chequeredflag16]

6:29 I think it's quite the contrary, SF-24 hates the soft compound tyres and low surface temp. Which is why I think they will struggle a bit here.

[@MrPulseF1]

Most of their success has been with the softest tyres. Singapore was an abnormal result in a way and that's because they messed it up in qualifying. In race trim they were there with McLaren. In my opinion anyway

I dont think they getting pole

They might not get the pole but a good strategy and their race pace Charles might win

[@MrPulseF1]

@@theykseee it's possible, plus with Mexico being 3rd aty the start is usually an advantage because you can get in the tow down the long straight

What a race Texas was, i hope Mexico delivers as well and that Ferrari can keep it up

[@MrPulseF1]

Absolutely agree. It was fantastic

[@luke11_23]

What about Hamilton

[@MrPulseF1]

I would take that. Come on George do the right thing, allow Leclerc to run off

[@whatdoesthisbuttondo5647]

I told you Ferrari might even win the Austin race my friend :))

[@MrPulseF1]

You did indeed. I shouldn't have doubted haha

[@abrahamnyaranga865]

If Leclerc can win this race and Norris comes in 2nd place, Sainz in 3rd, Verstappen in 4th and Piastri 5th, Mathematically, Leclerc can actually fight for the WDC, though it will be kind of a long shot, veeery long shot.

[@MrPulseF1]

Yeah it's a bit of a long shot, him beating Norris is realistic I think though which is still incredibly impressive

[@NFLclipsNet]

bruh give it up leclerc is not coming back bro.

[@mo215300]

@@NFLclipsNetyes but he could beat norris 22 points 5 races very much possible

[@makkert]

I admire this in Ferrari fans. No matter what, you keep believing. And in positive way, not like the crazy LH clan.

[@abrahamnyaranga865]

@@NFLclipsNet That is why I used the word, "IF". It is not certain, "BUT", It might happen. He will definitely not defeat Max because he threw away the win in Azerbaijan and messed up his qualifying in Singapore, at the end of the day ending the race at P5, but, beating Norris for 2nd place is definitely on the table. 22 points to him in 5 races? Let's go!!! Remember, last season, Leclerc was 20 points behind Norris in the final 2 rounds of the season, and he covered the 20 points in 2 races to finish the season infront of him.

[@AkhilSeshadri]

If ferrari can win in mexico and interlagos and put both their cars on the podium, then they do have a realistic shot at the constructors trophy

[@mo215300]

i would love to but extremely tall order

[@MrPulseF1]

You and me both. I think Brazil will be better for Ferrari than Mexico but both races could be strong

[@michaelhelbrow7906]

The mclaren upgrades were mostly track specific and they did work just didn't get them working from day one

[@MrPulseF1]

Potentially true, hopefully for them that was the case

[@liukin95]

Andrea Stella said that he reckons the McLaren upgrades will work better at the remaining circuits, so don't be surprised if they come back to winning ways this weekend!

[@Pedro285]

Expecting a strong race for RBR, but Checo was wild here last year .. crazy over-driving the car off the line and he will feel home pressure here again. Redbull have created a dam of pressure on their drivers across the 2 teams for 3 of the 4 seats. Popcorn at the ready.

[@MrPulseF1]

Yeah something could give big time in Mexico with the pressure I'm ready 😂

[@Max_Flashheart]

@@MrPulseF1 Checo remember to check your mirrors for cars on corner 1 this time.

[@AgainstWokeness]

If Red Bull doesn't have the pace of Ferrari and Mclaren and Ferrari is as dominant as they were in Austin, Leclerc has a genuine chance for the WDC. It's almost impossible but if Mercedes is faster than RB too then it is a serious consideration. Either way I think Leclerc will get at least P2 in the WDC.

[@MrPulseF1]

I think for Leclerc it is just a bit too much work, I think the drivers is settled now unless max has a DNF

[@mohammedcassim1816]

With Brazil after Mexico Leclerc has a real chance of winning 3 in a row

[@MrPulseF1]

Mexico is a possibility, I think interlagos is going to be strong for Ferrari

[@noname-ey3pk]

Front row in Mexico is a disadvantage because Who start behind them they will benefit from a good slipstream . I hope Ferrari can take the second front better than pole.

[@MrPulseF1]

Yep I agree. I forgot to mention that but you are absolutely correct

[@MIXDJ3000]

I actually thought p2 finish after qualifying in Austin was the best for the Mclaren. Especially after seeing that car being hard to drive. But seeing the pace on track, the car was actually good in clear air. A shame Lando didn't fully commit to block Max in T1, it was an easy win in Austin. I'm hopeful for Mclaren in Mexico, especially after last year's last to 5th by Lando.

[@MrPulseF1]

I don't know about an easy win but they definitely would have been fighting Ferrari at Texas

[@maite16551]

P1 lec P2 pia P3 ver P4 sai P5 ham Ferrari tyre advantage, pole for lec to another win. Sainz loses out in quali but manages to get up to p4. Pia strong race, nor behind this time in p6. Ver saving the day for rb desipte a weak car in Mexico. Ham qualifies above that but has less race pace.

[@MrPulseF1]

Yeah that's fair Ferrari will be strong in race pace likely once again which could really help them

[@helenballinger5213]

It could be Maxico again I am predicting. Will Checo announce his retirement here too? Lets find out I also really hope its a bit of a redempption weekend for Alex too agter really challenging Singapore and USA Gp!

[@MrPulseF1]

Feels like a yearly tradition with Perez and the potential retirement at this point 😂

[@shouryaveerokok]

On which tracks do Ferrari have the highest chances of outscoring McLaren out of the remaining 5 ? Cuz I really hope they can close the gap to the constructors' championship 😢 Big fan btw. Been watching all season but was too afraid to comment incase I end up asking a silly question. 😅

[@lorcanbyrne7539]

So it's really complicated and hard to tell. The obvious one where I think most people are predicting where Ferrari will be very strong is Las Vegas, however I'm not so sure. They take too long to heat up their tyres this year and could suffer because of this during the race but they can also take very good care of graining so this should help them. The other one would probably be Mexico, the track characteristics do suit the car on paper but I also think McLaren will be strong there. Before the US Grand Prix id have said they would struggle in Brazil and Abu Dhabi a little bit more but their very strong performance in low speed makes me think that they could be a dark horse in them tracks however once again in Brazil mclaren will be rapid. In Qatar Ferrari will struggle a lot in qualifying but I think with their tyre management they can be 2nd fastest to McLaren in the race. It's quite hard to explain everything fully without writing a 2 page essay so I hope I've covered anything but if you have any questions just ask no matter how silly they might be.

[@shouryaveerokok]

​@@lorcanbyrne7539 Thank you so much. I guess a lot of it comes down to how the other teams will perform. McLaren were expected to run away with this one, however they were not able to achieve as good a balance with the new upgrades as they could pre-austin. I do expect them to be fighting for wins in most if not all the remaining races. I think qatar will be an important race for Ferrari, as the tyre deg advantage could really play into our hands, the new upgrades have also seemed to resolve any major weaknesses of the car. I just hope max and Lando keep battling it out and take points off each other.

[@MrPulseF1]

Never be afraid of asking questions, I'm always happy to help 😀 It really depends how these upgrades pan out for McLaren, I've based it on similar performance to pre COTA. but if they don't work then there's probably a few races. Interlagos and Abu Dhabi could be good for Ferrari. Vegas was very strong last year however last year's car could fire the tyres up which is the opposite of this year's car

[@shaun0110]

Excellent breakdown mate. Am thinking max vs ferrari again like last year. I don't still believe red bull are fully back despite that one win.

[@MrPulseF1]

Yeah I feel that too. I think red bull are getting there and they have fantastic history at this place

[@racing1000]

My predictions are: 1. Leclerc 2. Verstappen 3. Sainz 4. Norris 5. Piastri But honestly, F1 is so tight these days that any of these guys could win!

[@Chazza177upfront]

Haas will score points becuase the upgrade was major and helped alot last weekend and the car is quick down the straights so i think Hulk P9 MAG P13

[@isakibrahim8316]

Need Leclerc to qualify P4 again at Mexico

[@MrPulseF1]

P3 or P4 is usually better than pole in Mexico because of the long run to T1 😃

[@ronaldihnio4ever]

RB has struggled a lot with long straigths this season honestly i dont see max anywere near the top 3 it will be a battle between ferari and mclaren for the top 4 positions and i see max fighting with mostly russel for p5-6

[@MrPulseF1]

That's a fair point. To be honest I am basing red bull more on their historical victories

[@aoife1122]

My SWAG? Pepsilitro will score his first podium, putting the final nail in Albon's coffin. 😉

[@michaelhelbrow7906]

Can we stop thinking that ferrari will win everywhere now. Just cos they won Austin doesn't mean they will win in Mexico.

[@MrPulseF1]

I didn't say that they will?

[@michaelhelbrow7906]

@MrPulseF1 no I know but that's what alot are predicting. And yeah that's isnt gospel of course but mclaren had track specific upgrades and didn't have the time to really get them settled properly but that's what can happen in a sprint weekend but ferrari are an improved team there is no doubt and redbull also but tbh we're still way behind mclaren in the race especially when lando got him. But let's see what happens this weekend

[@neilwilliams2883]

They scored a 1-2 in quali in Mexico last year and their car has been very quick for the last 3-4 races now. They should have won Baku, messed up in Singapore and dominated at Austin. They've got a decent chance, at least of winning Mexico. Winning every race from no is going to be almost impossible but they are on good form.

That will hamper the development of the '26 car. To throw away a development advantage in the first year of new regulations, is not the most smart move ever executed.

[@daphnelovesL]

Norris is like De Vries trying to hard and have nothing at the end.

[@dylanburston7453]

He should be comfortably leading the championship, if not wrapping it up in the next couple of races, not 60 points adrift looking over his shoulder at a Leclerc

Norris should be leading but there have been so many errors that has stopped him from leading and winning this title

[@criminalcase996]

Looking at young talent like Colapinto and Lawson, I feel that Alonso and Hamilton should call it a career just like Riccardo did. They are legends of their time but they are now overstaying their welcome. Stroll and Perez will remain there as pay drivers, but other seats should go to young talent. There many good drivers in F2 who deserve a chance.

[@mdashrafuzzamansunny2145]

lmao this isn't a charity bro. if the f2 drivers are so good they need to get in based on merit not on better drivers retiring

@@MrPulseF1 I think it might be time for Bottas to go as well, but it's really hard to tell how quick he is since he is in such a slow car. I think the fact that Zhou, who is possibly the slowest driver on the grid, managed to beat him in consecutive races (Baku and Singapore) says that Bottas isn't quite the driver he used to be.

Checo said he is planning to retire soon as said that he sees himself being in the sport for possibly 2 more seasons(gonna be 1 cause if he doesn’t get fired, that contract is dam well going to change to 1 year instead of 2). But yeah, Stroll should dip but won’t cause it’s daddy’s money
