  1. The race may not have been that exciting, but Mexican gp crowd was really awesome. Probably the best I’ve ever seen in a gp weekend. Wish we had such crowd in every race .

    1. @mjf1fan In comparison the British, Belgian and Spanish crowd certainly are the same, we’re just less South American.

      1. @xtwl I will include Italian fans as well in that list you mentioned and you will find such crowd mostly on traditional/old tracks. They are definitely from different nationality and cultures but one thing is common among them and that is – They are die hard fans of F1.

        1. @mjf1fan Obviously, how could I forget the Italians. I agree, they are all die-hard fans, just not so loud if you like.

    2. Completely agree, and I don’t think this was just because it was the first race, lots of people mentioned how other races also had over 100k the first year and went downhill after but the difference here is that there is already a huge fan base for racing, instead off trying to “create” it from scratch which never works.

  2. Maybe Monza’s podium is no longer the best podium in the calendar.

  3. This track looks fine.

  4. thinking about that long run down to turn 1 – rosberg did incredibly well to resist hamilton, much as he did in sochi. maybe he’s turned a corner in terms of wheel to wheel racing?

      I’m sorry but all he had to do was stick to one side of the track. Very little skill required to do that. Other than that he didn’t really have to do anything but maintain the gap to Hamilton.
