Mexico City. The Spanish Carlos Sainz was a shot in the wind with his Ferrari who managed to close the qualification with 1:15.946 to take pole position for the Mexico City Grand Prix. It was established that he was only a few thousandths ahead of the current champion Max Verstappen, who despite having some problems in practice on Saturday, managed to fine-tune himself to be as competitive as usual. Behind them they entered in that order: Lando Norris (McLaren), Charles Leclerc (Ferrari), George Russell (Mercedes) and Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes).
Checo Pérez failed to make the first cut and was eliminated for finishing in 18th place, which is what he will occupy on the starting grid this Sunday.
Although he continues to lead the championship with 354 points, Verstappen has lost authority in the face of McLaren’s push with Norris as a shadow only 57 units away and Leclerc 79 from the top, with only five races left – including today’s – to finish. the serial.
A panorama so different from that of a year ago for Red Bull, which was the undisputed dominator of the series. Yes, Checo is far from the sub-leadership of that time, and currently the triple champion Verstappen does not seem irreducible, since he has not managed to climb to the highest position on the podium since he achieved it at the Spanish Grand Prix on June 23. The Dutchman even complained of car problems during free practice on Friday, but managed to stay competitive on Saturday, despite suffering the cancellation of the first lap in Q3, to finish in second position on the starting grid.
Once the qualification was over, American actor Brad Pitt did some shots for the film in which he plays a fictional Formula One driver and team. The audience was excited, especially when they saw the star running with a Mexican flag.
