P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Lando Norris took full responsibility for his shock Q1 exit at the Mexico City Grand Prix even though McLaren called him in early during his first run in qualifying.
Norris was unexpectedly eliminated in the first qualifying segment, which came as a surprise. McLaren made the decision to send their drivers out on medium tyres during Q1, unlike Ferrari and Mercedes. However, McLaren made an early pit call for new tyres without a lap time on the board. Despite this, Norris made some mistakes on his first soft lap and his second attempt was disrupted by yellow flags caused by Fernando Alonso. Norris acknowledged that he had one opportunity and failed to capitalize on it, taking responsibility for his premature exit from qualifying.
