But from whom? And why Max? Mexicans wouldn't attack Checo's teammate. Hemlum Marko on the other hand, he should be travelling in kevlar I reckon.

From the article, apparently there have been threats from Mexican fans.
And while Verstappen is the overwhelming favourite to take victory number 16 at the upcoming Mexican Grand Prix, it is his Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez who will be looking to impress in front of his home crowd.
There Verstappen would already have been anticipating something of a hostile reaction, but such treatment already started at the US Grand Prix when booing could be heard as Verstappen took to the top step of the podium.
Marko blamed the Mexican fans for this, and informing F1-Insider.com that social media threats were being made against Verstappen even before the US Grand Prix booing, Red Bull has chosen to act.

"[Giuliano Duchessa] Ferrari: in Mexico spec Brembo discs to ensure more ventilation on both SF-23s. Maximum attention to PU cooling, 2022 was a nightmare, the engine engineers had to lower the power by 7/8 tenths. Interesting verification"

If you remove the “x” and substitute “twitter” the tweet will embed properly.
That graph doesn’t look very random…

You wouldn't want to upset the guys who you catch a lift back with in their private plane. I hear the catering is out of this world.
