    Even 11lbs would be a bit of a stretch of an excuse.

    I like the cars that don't have as much advertising on them. That's why I like the Ferrari before the MISSION WINNOW crap went on. I guess next season I will really like the Williams and McLaren cars. :p

    Great pics and thanks for the wx update. Couple hours to go for FP1. Not sure if running on wets or intermediate tyres today and dry race day (as COTA played out) will be the advantage for Ferrari since MB seems to have their wheel cooling and "cross-weight" issue resolved.

    Redbull and Williams rims look interesting from the above pics.

    Ferrari's look like they have some holes in them, behind the spokes.

    Would be good to get some pictures of everybody's rims, shots outside and inside...!

    Joe, I first heard of SF's new floor at COTA and now RBR's new floor looks very similar. Just a case of great minds thinking alike? or perhaps RBR reverse engineered it from pics to see if SF is onto something."

    I saw your close-up of RPFI floor trailing edge...is that new for Mexico as well?

    25 minutes to FP1. About to tune in. Shoot, this last win in COTA is tempting me to hop down to MMMX for the race.

    Whew. Lots of tyre degradation on the Hypers.

    Joe, any good tyre pix?

    RBR ran fast in FP1 (on the Hypers). Hmmm, If no WX issues pop up may point to some interesting decisions come Qualifying.

    BTW- watching live feed on TV was about 15 seconds ahead of the race timing on F1 app on my mobile device, not a big deal but is there a simple caveman sync procedure for this?

    RB has it on one car for data collection. It's DR's car that has the new floor.

    Just under 2 hrs to FP3. Depending on the source, looks to be dry...chance of showers later in the day? Should be an interesting day.

    I'm going to watch from DVR later, take my girls karting this am. FWIW-For FP2 I managed to sync the "live-timing" replay from the F1 app on my device with the DVR playback on the widescreen, will probably do the same for FP3 and Qual.
