Hamilton is predicting "three or four" pitstops during the Mexican Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton believes drivers might end up making at least three pitstops during Sunday's Mexican Grand Prix due to the tyres. Hamilton, who has a shot of winning his sixth F1 world championship this weekend, expresses his frustration with the tyres after Friday practice.

Hamilton topped the first practice session of the weekend, but finished in P5 and then P4 in the following two sessions. The tyre degradation is likely due to the high altitude of the track.

“It’s pretty useless here with the tyres, it feels like we’re going to be doing a three or four stop kind of thing. This place is so aggressive on the tyres," Hamilton is quoted by planet F1.

Hamilton has failed to qualify on pole position since the German Grand Prix. It looks as if Ferrari have the upper hand going into the first meaningful session of the weekend.
