The 2022 Mexican Grand Prix is just a few hours away, but the excitement is palpable as we await one of the most exciting races of the year.And it's not just any race: Red Bull's rivals, Mercedes-AMG, are within a shot of victory and will be pushing Max Verstappen to the end.
Well, that's what we're hoping for.George Russell and Lewis Hamilton qualified a surprising second and third behind Verstappen, but the qualifying result was almost a shock and unexpected.
And it's left everyone asking: Where was this Mercedes team all season?The Grand Prix in Mexico City takes place 2 200m above sea level, and it favours the Silver Arrows' 2022 car, the W13.
So good is the car around the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez circuit that Russell topped the second and third practice sessions, and Hamilton Q1 and Q2.Their pace is no fluke, and it would seem that Red Bull could be in for a long race.
