P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Max Verstappen couldn’t resist chuckling when he was told Valtteri Bottas used DRS during their battle in the dying stages of FP2 at the Mexico City Grand Prix.
In the second practice sessions in Mexico, Verstappen and Bottas both performed well, with Verstappen coming in first and Bottas in fourth on the timesheets. Since Bottas left Mercedes, we haven’t had a chance to see him compete directly with Verstappen on the track due to the different fortunes of their teams, Alfa Romeo and Red Bull. However, FP2 presented a rare opportunity for Bottas to go head-to-head with the three-time world champion. Verstappen ultimately came out on top by braking later into Turn 1, with his race engineer pointing out that Bottas even used DRS (Drag Reduction System) to try and maintain his position. Verstappen reacted with laughter.
