Mexican Grand Prix qualifying was very good for one of the three 2025 Formula 1 title contenders but pretty worrying for the other two. All three feature in our winners and losers selection
The Mexican Grand Prix qualifying session had divergent outcomes for the three 2025 Formula 1 title contenders, with one shining and the other two facing challenges.

Unfortunately, Max Verstappen found himself on the losing end, struggling with setup issues and anticipating a tough race from his 5th place starting position.
