October 27, 2019 Only the mathematics of the title (small bucks) is lost to Lewis Hamilton to complete the masterpiece of success in Mexico City. The Brit wins with what can be defined as a gigantic 'undercut' which is worth overtaking Vettel, Bottas (both on the podium) and Leclerc. The Monegasque, who started from pole, pays a wrong strategy and has to settle for fourth place. Next week, in Austin, the 2019 World Cup was granted, the sixth for Hamilton.

Ferrari in the front row after Verstappen's penalty, the start for the two reds runs smoothly. The same cannot be said immediately behind. Verstappen attacks Hamilton and passes him to the first corner, but the two touch and lose positions. Albon and Sainz take advantage of it. The Dutchman is particularly unlucky in the duel with the Mercedes: slipped to the eighth place, he attacks and passes Bottas that hits him on the right back by puncturing the rubber. Pit stop and ends at the bottom of the group. Hamilton and Bottas, meanwhile, get rid of the McLarens and stick to Albon's Red Bull.

With Leclerc and Vettel to lead the dances the pit stops begin. Incredible what happens to the McLaren box, with Norris starting again with a badly fixed tire and stopping at the end of the pit lane to be 'recovered' by the mechanics. Albon is the first of the leading group to stop, followed by Leclerc (lap 15, very early), confirmed the medium tires. Meanwhile, Alfa Romeo mechanics 'overtake' McLaren colleagues: Giovinazzi's car is lowered again without a tire and therefore raised again with difficulty to complete the operation. Hamilton stops at the 24th passage and the hard compound is played. Vettel and Bottas are very long. The Finn changes to lap 37 (hard tires), the German to 38 ('white' also for him). After the reshuffle, Leclerc ahead followed by Hamilton, Albon, Vettel and Bottas.

The strategy penalizes Leclerc, who stops after 43 laps (28 from the finish line) and also mounts the hard. Back on the track behind Bottas and recovers the fourth position because Albon makes the same choice the next lap. The Monegasque, however, does not give up the battle and makes himself under the leading trio with record rounds. But Hamilton's tires do not show signs of slowing down and Vettel and Bottas only get closer than 2 ". The same happens to Leclerc, who is consoled with the additional point but never gets to the attack distance. Albon's Red Bulls and Verstappen (for him however a great comeback) very detached in fifth and sixth place.
