Image source, Formula 1If Nico Rosberg is to win today, he is going to have to do much better on the run to the first corner than he did in Austin.
The German started on pole in that race but lost out to Lewis Hamilton on the 363m run from the start to Turn 1.
The Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez features a run to the first corner that is almost triple that, with Rosberg going to have to hold off his team-mate for 900m...
Laps: 71
Circuit distance: 4.304km

Image source, EPA“Uncertainty about Red Bull’s future in F1 continues this weekend, with no confirmation of which engine their two teams will use next year. It emerged in Austin last weekend that they had approached Honda, and the Japanese company’s F1 boss Yasuhisa Arai said this weekend in Mexico that the situation was still open, despite it being well known that McLaren have exercised their contractual veto against the idea.
“McLaren racing director Eric Boullier was firm on the issue. ‘There is no debate on this,’ he said. ‘There is clearly an issue in Red Bull which was created by Red Bull, not by anybody else, and we are not a charity foundation, we are not here to help.’
"In any case, despite the gossip about Honda, informed insiders say it looks increasingly as if the lead team will continue with Renault after all, despite their very public falling-out this season, with Toro Rosso switching to Ferrari, likely with a 2015 engine as long as the rules, which currently forbid such a thing, are changed to allow it. On track this weekend, Red Bull have been looking racy, and Daniel Ricciardo in particular, who qualified fourth, could be a menace in the race.”
Triple world champion Niki Lauda, chairman of Mercedes F1, tells BBC Radio 5 live that the team have not given Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg any instructions after the controversy in Austin.
Lauda says: "They can do what they want. We can't get involved, so let's see what they do. Nico can only get back at him by beating Lewis."
Asked if he was going to be nervous watching the first corner, he replies. "Yes, admittedly, I am."
Image source, Getty ImagesThe Mexico national anthem, or at least the rendition of it at the circuit, is erm...interesting.
Everyone has stood proudly to await it as some fella kicks things off with a trumpet, but it sounds more like a kazoo than anything else.
Image source, Getty ImagesThink we can chalk off another win for the supplier this weekend though...
Here are some of the stories from national newspapers before the Mexican Grand Prix.
The Sun:, external Jenson Button says Nico Rosberg should ask him for tips on beating Lewis Hamilton.
Sunday Mirror:, external Sebastian Vettel hopes Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton crash into each other on the first corner.
Star on Sunday:, external Lewis Hamilton is planning to pick up where Nigel Mansell left off in Mexico.
Sunday Express:, external World Champion Lewis Hamilton wants to end his career with Mercedes after ruling out Ferrari move.
The drivers have just completed their laps to the grid, with 20 minutes to go until lights out.
"The rears are very weak," reports Lewis Hamilton, before adding that "they are going to struggle today".
"Reliability is a big concern ahead of this race. The thinner air at over 2,000m puts an extra strain on engines and brakes. ‘It will be difficult with all these things - everything is on the edge, brakes, engine temperatures,’ said Mercedes’ Nico Rosberg. ‘We have prepared well and are comfortable but it will be on the edge.’ Meanwhile, McLaren racing director Eric Boullier said he expected to see reliability problems.”
Image source, ReutersNigel Mansell, who won the last time the race was staged 23 years ago, has just been talking on BBC Radio 5 live.
He says: "What they have put on this week is just awesome. We have an epic race on our hands.
"Rosberg just needs to do a solid job and not make a mistake. We have an extraordinary set of circumstances and a lot of cars were within one second of pole position."

Image source, Getty Images“Struggling they might be, but there is still room at McLaren for some humour, and on Saturday it came courtesy of an Australian reporter and the Rugby World Cup final.
"McLaren’s news conference took place a couple of hours after the All Blacks’ brilliant victory over the Wallabies, and upon hearing a questioner’s accent, Jenson Button said: ‘Where are you from?” ‘Australia,’ came the reply. ‘Tough day?’ said Button. Reporter: ’How did your team do?’ Touche.”
Move over, Daniel Ricciardo. Magnum PI, sorry, a random Mercedes engineer has stolen your mustachioed thunder.
Actually, on closer inspection I think it might just be fake...
Image source, MercedesI've not seen too many famous faces wandering around the paddock just yet. One person there is Carlos Slim Domit, who is the son of the second richest man in the world, and also was a key player in getting a Mexican GP back on the calendar.
Tequilas on Carlos later then?
