November 1, 2026

• BERNIE COLLINS, Sky Sports F1 analyst and former F1 strategist, offered a clear-eyed breakdown of why race control restored Hamilton to third for the Mexico GP restart.
• COLLINS explained that the red flag reference point was likely taken at the end of sector two, not the control line, because Hamilton and Gasly were both in the pit lane.
• Her analysis highlighted how Safety Car timing and pit-lane entries can shift classifications, making the choice of reference point critical to the restart order.
• COLLINS was careful to flag her reading as interpretation, not official confirmation, showing the analytical precision she brings to complex regulatory moments.
