The F1 circus show comes to CDMX
Attention, lovers of adrenaline and the noise of engines! The day has finally arrived when twenty billionaires with a helmet and a daredevil Dutchman will get into their supersonic sedans to circle, for almost two hours, around the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. Their noble mission: to conquer the precious and probably very heavy trophy of the Mexican Grand Prix. Because what better way to demonstrate human superiority than speeding at 300 km/h in a public park?
In the front row, occupying the coveted place that everyone covets (to have a cleaner photo on Instagram), will be the British Lando Norris. It seems that his strategy of being nice in the media finally paid off, or maybe his car is very fast, who knows. He will be escorted, as if it were a royal entourage, by the Monegasque Charles Leclerc, whose helmet perfectly matches the color of his Ferrari, and the historic Lewis Hamilton, who is surely already thinking about his next fashion collection while driving.
The excitement (and pressure) of those from Maranello
Meanwhile, in the world of the *tifosi*, hope is renewed more than a politician’s contract. The followers of the *Prancing Horse* are convinced that Leclerc can repeat the feat and win in Aztec lands. Of course, after his outstanding performance this weekend, who wouldn’t be excited? It’s almost as if a single good result magically erases all the Maranello team’s previous… ahem… *strategic episodes*. For his part, Norris doesn’t just want to win the race; aspires to make a splash in the drivers’ championship, because finishing second must be as frustrating as always reaching the final of a competition and receiving the consolation prize.
