Sainz Shines in Mexican GP Qualifying, Verstappen Follows

Continuing the tradition of nerve-wracking qualifying sessions, Carlos Sainz bravely claimed pole position for Ferrari with an incredible lap of 1m15.946s, finishing just 0.225 seconds ahead of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen. Sainz maintained impressive speed throughout the session, securing Ferrari’s place at the top and fueling hopes for a potential victory. Verstappen, who had his first Q3 lap deleted for exceeding track limits at the Turn 2/3 chicane, pulled off a strong final attempt to secure a spot on the front row. McLaren’s Lando Norris delivered a spirited drive to finish third with a brilliant final lap, while Charles Leclerc rounded out the top four, showing Ferrari’s competitive edge.

George Russell edged out his Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton to claim fifth place, with Hamilton following in sixth, as both drivers aimed to keep their championship hopes alive. Kevin Magnussen had a standout performance for Haas, achieving a season-best seventh place. Joining him in the top ten were Alex Albon and Nico Hulkenberg, who delivered solid drives to secure ninth and tenth, respectively.

Several key moments shaped the session, such as Yuki Tsunoda’s crash in Q2, which prevented him from advancing into the top ten. His teammate, Liam Lawson, also fell short, as did Aston Martin drivers Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll, who were impacted by the incident. In Q1, notable exits included Oscar Piastri and local favorite Sergio Perez, who struggled with braking issues and qualified only 15th, disappointing fans at his home circuit. With Sainz, Verstappen, and Norris leading the front row, the Mexican GP promises intense battles and high expectations for Sunday.
