Hello and welcome from all of us here at the GPRejects Box Office, we're here in *insert weather* Mexico for an exciting *insert number of laps* laps around this *insert track distance* kilometre circuit! We go into this race as part of the final four, where the championship is indeed tightening up further and further. Shall we get predicting? Yes I think we shall! *insert reference to Mexican character, franchise or food*

Here's your blank slate:

2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

9.
10.

Pole:
Fastest lap:
First retirement:

There's always a point for the funniest alternative race title you guys can come up with. The candidates for Minor League Premiership are: Alexander Albon; Antonio Giovinazzi; Lando Norris; George Russell. And you are always welcome to activate double points for one round only.

1. Valtteri Bottas (two in a row?)
2. Charles Leclerc
3. Lewis Hamilton
4. Sebastian Vettel (span out from the lead)
5. Alexander Albon
6. Sergio Pérez (yeaaaaaaaah!"

First retirement: Lance Stroll (stops being anonymous for 10 seconds)
ROTR: Sebastian Vettel (causes two incidents during the race
IIDOTR: Sergio Pérez
DBTMOTR: Lance Stroll
MLP: Alexander Albon
SCs: 1

Good luck everyone :dance:

With no absolutely outrageous switch-ups in the running, the Mexican Grand Prix turned out to be a relatively high-scoring round for our contenders. Twice in a row, early championship leader ElBerto has won again two races on the trot, whilst most of the front-running participants were close on their heels. In second place was dr-baker, whose consistency has pushed him back into the lead of the championship! But more on that later. Here's the results from Mexico:

Results
1. ElBerto 20
2. dr-baker 18*
- Fetzie 18

4. Jops 16
5. tommykl 15
- CarloSpace 15
7. yannicksamlad 14
- RAK 14
9. Rob Dylan 12
- You-Gee-Eee-Day 12
- CaptainGetz12 12
- mario 12
13. Pacific 777 11
14. Bleu 8
*point for funniest alternative race title




And there you have it. Defending champion RAK has been dropped to second, only 1.17 points off the lead, whilst ElBerto and 2017 champion mario seem to me like the other serious contenders. But with three races to go, let's see what happens. Here are the standings:

Standings
1. dr-baker 273.17
2. RAK 272
3. Fetzie 259

4. ElBerto 246
5. mario 241

It's a narrow lead, but it's a lead nonetheless, one that I wasn't anticipating! But can I hold it for the final few races, or will it be like Dan Cammish at Brands Hatch in BTCC this year, peaking just one race too soon?
