Hamilton got his first training session in Mexico
Lewis Hamilton with Mercedes got his first free practice in Mexico, marked by low temperatures and low grip. The Briton's fastest time on medium tires was only eight hundredths better than second-placed Sebastian Vettl in Ferrari, who, however, used a soft version of the tires. Kimi Raikkonen, who was third, also hinted at the strength of the red team. Sauber’s Felipe Nasr took care of the break with the red flags when he first drove wide over the bend, causing his front wings to fly off the track. Max Verstappen encountered right brake problems that ignited. He lost a lot of time and failed to get higher than fourteenth place. McLarn didn't do well either. Fernando Alonso finished sixteenth and Jenson Button two places lower. Dir
