"Lando Norris gave a significant boost to his championship chances by taking pole position for the Mexican Grand Prix while title rivals Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri qualified in fifth and eighth, respectively. Norris is 14 points adrift of Piastri in the standings, but would move ahead of his McLaren teammate if the two cars finish where they start in Sunday's race."
"Norris' first task will be to fend off the two Ferraris of Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, who qualified second and third, on the long run down to Turn 1. Hamilton's qualifying performance was his best since joining Ferrari, and he was just 0.090 seconds off teammate Leclerc. George Russell qualified fourth for Mercedes and will start ahead of Verstappen in fifth and Kimi Antonelli in sixth."
Lando Norris secured pole position for the Mexico City Grand Prix with a lap time of 1:15.586, 0.262 seconds ahead of Charles Leclerc. Lewis Hamilton qualified third, 0.352 seconds behind Norris, and George Russell took fourth. Max Verstappen qualified fifth and Oscar Piastri eighth, leaving Norris 14 points behind Piastri in the standings but able to move ahead if both McLarens finish in qualifying order. Carlos Sainz was seventh but faces a five-place grid penalty that will drop him to 12th for a collision in the U.S. Grand Prix. Norris expressed surprise and delight over team radio.
