Alex Kalinauckas and Stuart Codling review a news-heavy Day 2 at the Mexican Grand Prix.

It took six hours to settle after the day's running was done, but the stewards rejected McLaren's Right to Review into Lando Norris' Austin Penalty. McLaren argued that Norris' was so far ahead of Max Verstappen going into Turn 12 that Max was the attacker and not the defender, but the duo explain why that wasn't considered "new evidence" in the eyes of the stewards.

F1 also had an extended 90-minute Pirelli Tyre Test for FP2, with Carlos Sainz fastest overall on the day's running, with George Russell in the wall for the second time in six days with a hard shunt in Sector 2. Stuart breaks down what Pirelli are trying to achieve with their 2025 tyres, and why a new experimental "C6" softer compound might be left on the cutting room floor.
