Norris: F1 Mexico Grand Prix Q1 exit "on me" despite McLaren pit call
The McLaren driver, Lando Norris, had a disappointing qualifying session in Mexico City. Despite showing strong form in practice, his first run on medium tires was aborted due to an instruction from the pitwall. This left him with only one final chance to set a qualifying time. However, he encountered Fernando Alonso’s spun Aston Martin, losing valuable time, and made mistakes on his lap. Norris took full responsibility for not capitalizing on his opportunity. Although he didn’t know why his first lap was called off, he acknowledged that he should have performed better. As a result, Norris will start in 18th position on the grid, with Logan Sargeant losing his lap time and Yuki Tsunoda starting from the back due to an engine change.
