But the mechanic was very quick to match the tumble and he stood out with some style saying he was ok from the fall. Leclerc also stopped for a second to check whether his mechanic was ok after the huge fall on the road. The mechanic was named Alessandro and he also posted a video saying he was ok from the fall. The incident was highly appreciated by the fans and many are cheering the mechanic who out of dedication tumbled into the garage.

The other best moment of the FP3 session was Liam Lawson’s incredible save after exiting the penultimate corner in the stadium of the Mexican circuit. Lawson was almost inches away from hitting the wall and damaging his car for a heavy cost. But his quick reflexes saved the car from going to the garage.

The next incident was at the Ferrari garage where the Ferrari driver Carlos sainz was pranked by the crew with a poker face when he was coming back after the session. The Spaniard at first didn't seem to realize the crew member but after he recognizes he laughs at him and the crew makes him remove his mask from his face.
