    "I am just looking at the tyres that have come off Lewis' car. Front left there are big gouges out of it at the moment. It looks like it may have blistered."

    One hour in and 17 drivers have managed at least one timed lap. Just Jenson Button, Felipe Massa and Max Verstappen - who is unlikely to get back out - yet to set a lap time.

    The track is clearly still very slippery with those moments for Max Verstappen and Valtteri Bottas.

    Now Sebastian Vettel has a fair old wobble at the pit entry, almost entering sideways before correcting himself, before Lewis Hamilton spins!

    Some real rear grip issues early on in FP2.

    Valtteri Bottas locked up heading into Turn 1, scraping the barriers and losing his front wing in the process.

    "I don't know what happened with the brakes," he says.

    Pedro Rodriguez is Mexico's only Formula 1 grand prix winner. 

    He finished fourth in the 1968 Mexico GP - the best result to date for a Mexican on home.

    Sergio Perez was fifth in Austin last-time out. His best finish of the season was third in Russia. Could he make history and reproduce that result on Sunday?
