LIVE: Mexico City Grand Prix Build-Up

To Mexico! Alonso, you are celebrating your 400th Grand Prix here in Mexico. Did you ever imagine being racing in Formula 1 for so long? Yeah, no, probably not, but I'm enjoying every second of it. I feel privileged, I feel honored to be here, especially in Mexico, celebrating this race. Hopefully we put on a good show for everybody. How are the emotions getting into the race today? Yeah, it is special, for sure, all the celebrations, together with my team. But, yeah, obviously, when we close the visors, it's a normal race. Now we'll do it in Spanish for all the fans who are here supporting you. You are a legend, 400 Grand Prix for Fernando Alonso. Is your motivation still the same as the first day? Yes, it's still the same. The truth is that I feel privileged to have been in Formula 1 for more than two decades. So, I'm enjoying every second of it. I'm happy to celebrate the 400th Grand Prix here in Mexico with this fans and with everybody supporting me. So, thank you all very much. Fernando Alonso. Franco Colapinto, how has been this weekend with all the support of the Latin fans? It's been insane. I did enjoy a lot this weekend, all the fans. They have shown so much support to me, to Checo. I think they are enjoying to see two Latinos now in the grid. And we are going to try to go forward with Checo today. We are starting from the back, but we are going to try to have a good race and make them proud. I know that you are not starting in the position that you would like to. But what is possible to do from P16? We'll see after the race. I think we have a good race car. We have good pace. Yesterday was very tricky, what happened with the tyres? We struggled with the car balance and it's just very difficult to drive the car. But I'm looking forward to today. I think we have a good chance to go forward and we are going to try that. Let's see how it is after the race. Thank you, Franco. Lando Norris. Please tell me, how has been the reception of Mexico this year? It's unbelievable. Every year it's very crazy to be here. We say a big thank you to all of the fans which turn up and make it very exciting and a lot of fun. You have Carlos and Max in front of you. What is the strategy to overtake them? It's tough. There's not an easy answer. But I'm sure it will be a good race to watch today, I hope. Perfect, thank you very much. Checo Perez. I'm going to start in Spanish, of course. Describe to the people what year after year you have been here. Thank you. All of my career, thanks to you, has been worth it. Every effort we have made together. You are the best fans in the world, but from a long distance. In the position you want. But you have come out worse and worse. What can we expect from today? What can you do from that position? Give it everything. That's what we are going to look for today. Try to get to the points. I think it will be a very good race. The engine overheats a lot. But the only thing I can give you today is my all, as always. And hopefully we can score some points. Anything else for your fans? Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you very much for being with me every year. You fill me with a lot of desire. We will continue here and we will fight today with everything. Thank you, Checo.
