Mercedes AMG Petronas - 2016 Mexican Grand Prix preview

The 2016 Formula One World Championship season continues this weekend with Round 19, the #mexicangrandprix, from Mexico City

Nico: "Standing on that podium last year was one of the best moments of my career"
Lewis: "I've never been one to give up and I don't plan on starting now"
Toto: "We are looking at an exciting end to this season and the title battle"
Paddy: "The key feature of this race is the high altitude"
Vital Statistics: Mexico City

Nico Rosberg
I came into Sunday with a good chance of winning but it didn't work out. That's the way it is, so I accept that and now it's on to the next one in Mexico. My goal is to try and win there just as it has been at every race. Of course, to be in a Championship battle at the end of the year is awesome and I'm excited about that. But my approach is to keep it simple. There are many things that can happen during a race weekend which are out of your control, so it's best to just block all that out and focus on the job at hand. That's what's worked best for me and how I feel at my strongest. I'm excited to head back to #mexicocity again. Driving the track feels like being back at a kart circuit with all the tight corners and the noise and the atmosphere in the stadium section is really phenomenal. Standing on that podium last year was one of the best moments of my career, so I hope I can get back up there and experience it again. We've got three races left to enjoy this awesome Silver Arrow, so I'm planning on making the most of every moment.

Lewis Hamilton
It was great to finally get that 50th win after a couple of tough weekends. I've just continued to keep a positive frame of mind, avoid dwelling on the past, work and train hard and I knew eventually the result would come. The moment you give up is the moment you lose. I've never been one to give up and I don't plan on starting now. There are still plenty of points available and anything is possible. Next up it's Mexico, which was a great experience last time out. It's crazy how slippery the circuit is with the altitude giving you so little downforce from the car. It's a big challenge, so even though last year's race was a bit frustrating for me, I actually had a lot of fun out there. I'm looking forward to giving it another go and hopefully going one better this time. On top of that, it has to be one of the best crowds I've ever seen. There are so many #people with so much energy and excitement for the sport in Mexico. The stands were full even on Friday, which was really good to see. I saw a few Mexican flags with my name on them in Austin which was awesome, so hopefully those guys will be there to give me that extra lift this weekend too.
