    Very nice, my late uncle Jean Louis lived in Mexico 1950's 1980's and wrote a book on pre-Columbian art, he would have approved this:)
    My cousin Gilbert still lives in Mexico city, just sent this to him.

    Boring picture.

    What's the meaning? We sacrifice an AMG F1 Mercedes by ripping out its engine? Foreboding for a Lewis engine change?

    Tasteless and disrespectful to put the car(s) on the Pyramid, whoever drew and whoever authorized that were clumsy and clueless.

    Perez: Red Bull could face ‘complicated’ team orders call in Mexican GP
    By: Jonathan Noble

    Sergio Perez says he and Red Bull could face a ‘complicated’ team orders call in Formula 1’s Mexican Grand Prix in a bid to help Max Verstappen’s title push.

    The Mexican is heading into his home grand prix knowing he has the best opportunity of his career to triumph in front of his fans.

    But despite the clear chance he has of gunning for a hugely popular victory, Perez is well aware that Red Bull’s focus right now is on ensuring team-mate Verstappen maximises his points scoring opportunities.

    With Verstappen only 12 points clear of title rival Lewis Hamilton with five races remaining, Red Bull still cannot afford to concede any unnecessary ground.

    That has opened up a scenario where Perez could find himself leading the Mexican GP from Verstappen but is then ordered to sacrifice the win.

    Speaking in Mexico City ahead of the race weekend, Perez accepted there could be a potentially tricky situation of having to give up a home win, but reckoned that it was something that could only be evaluated once the race was underway.

    "It's complicated,” he said when asked about the possibility of team orders robbing him of the victory.

    “We should see what circumstances we have in the race. At the end of the day, we are drivers working as a team and the main focus is on the team.

    “It's the big picture. We will have to look at the circumstances. And that’s the beauty of racing: that decisions are made in the moment, in seconds, even though they are very complicated issues.”
