Although Mexico City will be even faster than Montreal, retirements are much more unlikely. Probably the track characteristics without fast chicanes are responsible for that. However, CCs could well surprise one or the other driver as they tend to be very fast on he whole circuit except for only two points, the right hander before the long straight and the chicane before the slow hairpin.
Having a look at the fact sheet below, you'll see that Oliver finished on the podium three out of four times, but he actually never won Mexico, neither does he own one of the records at this track. So, Oliver, are we allowed to speak of Mexico as one of your weak tracks? ;-)
