A blistering qualifying session played out at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, in which for a long time it was impossible to predict who would take pole position. In the end, it was Max Verstappen who succeeded, but according to internet users, the Dutchman should look carefully in his mirrors for George Russell.

Danger for Verstappen?

Internet reactions show that people were not so much concerned with how close qualifying was, but more with Russell starting alongside Verstappen. Some hope Russell does his job and torpedoes the Dutchman out of the race, while others hope it does not happen. However, both sides agree on one thing: Verstappen needs to look out well in the first corner.

At the US Grand Prix, Carlos Sainz was thrown out of the race by Russell in the first corner and that was not the first time this year that the Briton caused an incident with another driver. This has led to many cynical comments towards the Mercedes driver recently.

Did Mercedes just got an instant rocketship upgrade ? How is this even possible? On average they are 0.400 behind red bull and now they have a rocketship car. How?

@Max33Verstappen Please note. On Toto command, @GeorgeRussell63 will try to crash you out before you reach the first corner, so Crying LuLu @LewisHamilton can win his 1st race this year. Be extremely careful. @diegofmejia @F1Tornello @giselle_zm
