Nico Rosberg has been the faster of second practice session in front of Daniil Kvyat and Daniel Ricciardo. Max Verstappen was the fastest in the first practice in Mexico.
In the first ever practice session of this century for Formula 1 in Mexico, started under a wet track that made the drivers drive with the intermediate tyre in the early minutes.
And of course as a new track, the drivers had a lot of outings and spun off, but the medium tyre finally made his appearance and makes Max Verstappen the fastest of the season, in a lap where the Dutch driver made after cut a corner.
There is a place where the engines suffer a lot and breaks as well, this was shown by Nico Rosberg who saw his breaks fire. In McLaren they had another kind of issue, they had a defective slick tyres and they had to drive with the intermediate compound.
So Verstappen was the fastest followed by Daniil Kvyat and the Ferrari’s of Kimi Räikkönen and Sebastian Vettel, Daniel Ricciardo completes the top 5.
In the second practice session, Nico Rosberg set the fastest time in front of the Red Bull’s, Hamilton and the Ferrari’s.
Max Verstappen lost the control of this car and crashed at last turn early on this session. Valtteri Bottas lost the control in the brakes too at turn 1 and damaged his front wing. Several drivers argue about brakes and slippery conditions before the rain went to the track for the final minutes.
