It is great that on this special occasion, Micheal Schumacher is remembered. The seven time world champion and the most successful F1 driver in the history of the sport fights for his dear life still.

That said, The Mexico Autodromo Hernandez Rodriquez looks very pictureque and seems the spectators are brought to the closes proximity of the track. It seems like all the twisty sections of the track are in the direct view of the spectator present in the stadium. It would be a great venue to watch a live race, l think. They seem to have taken ques from Austin with the use of highly engaging red colors along the track. It would seem this a North American theme which looks very vivid on TV.

The Mexican crowd are quite lively too, quite like nowhere else actually. The track layout was a great success and Tilke did a fantastic job it seems. I sure some would find reason to complain but the track has met the the most stringent expectation from the look of it. I like it, and l hope it is able to produce great racing.
