McLaren Pokes Fun at Alonso as Hamilton Goes After FIA Post FP3

The third practice session at the Mexican Grand Prix had very limited running because of tricky conditions.  Max Verstappen topped the time charts, taking a hatrick of Free Practice sessions while Mercedes hit trouble with Bottas’ car. But it was something from the McLaren team that got everyone’s attention.

While the rain had stopped an hour before the session, the damp conditions didn’t allow for much running.

Daniel Ricciardo explained: “These are the worst conditions. It’s too dry for inters, we’ll just burn ’em up and we might need them for qualifying.

“But it’s too wet for slicks, even if we go out on the hyper-softs we won’t learn anything. Have to wait for it to rain or dry up more.”

The first car came only after 30 minutes, and that too was the McLaren of Fernando Alonso. Being the only one to set a time lap, his engineer poked a little fun at him on the radio. Watch it below:
