pre-Haas team set on that trip to Mexico City’s thin air would be a tough game. Even last year with a fast car, had the big problems here.
Only Kevin Magnussens knight in 2017, stands out in the team’s performance on this track, and it came out of the blue, after Haas-the duo had qualified allerbagerst.
the Times in second practice suggests that it will be a battle with Alfa Romeo to move forward from Q1. In løbstrim with a full tank so it is not convincing out.
Anyway depreciates Kevin Magnussen in no way a result in advance.
– We had good speed in a straight line. If we find a little speed, we can fight, overtake or defend, so it is positive. Midterfeltet is close again, so we need only find four tenths or so. We are not COMPLETELY lost, said the dane, en Ekstra Bladet spoke with him in Mexico.
run with maximum downforce around the track in 2200 meters altitude – the same settings on the hind wing as in Monaco – and yet produce the cars less grip than they do at Monza, where top speed is everything and the downforce is less important.

When Kevin Magnussen will not write off the race in advance, it is connected with the fact that all teams are struggling with ‘graining’, where the tire surface breaks and reduces the grip. It can provide opportunities.
– I think it will not be a one-stop. Maybe not even a two-stop. The course can be exciting, hope the dane.
Teamkammeraten Romain Grosjean drove around like a second grandmother – his own words – to take care of the tires and just a little helped it.

– a single instance is go okay, but it’s a different story in løbstrim. The wear on the tires is huge. We try to take care and not destroy them, but nothing works, says the frenchman.
On the Extra Magazine in question he found pluses:
– We reached our entire program, and the car is reliable. The cooling, we brought to Mexico, is functioning well, so there are positives. But if you look at pure performance it is painful.
In Mexico rounds Kevin Magnussen a milestone when he makes up his 100. Formula 1-grandprix. Along with the Extra Magazine commemorating the Formula 1 drivers some of its best (and worst) moments. READ HERE (+)
