Charles Leclerc was surprised by Ferrari’s pole position in the Mexico City Grand Prix, as he had no idea they had the potential until Q3. This is the second consecutive pole position for Leclerc, following his success in Austin. Despite fading in the race and finishing sixth in Austin, Leclerc believes that if he retains the lead off the line, he has the ability to fight for victory in Mexico. However, he is aware of the challenges, particularly the slipstream effect on the long run to Turn 1. He and his teammate, Carlos Sainz, have not yet discussed their pre-agreed plans for the start of the race, as it is difficult to predict what will happen and they will adapt based on their starting positions.
