P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz locked out the front row for the Mexican Grand Prix with a stunning Q3 performance, despite Red Bull and Max Verstappen having looked comfortable all weekend.
Red Bull Motorsport Advisor Helmut Marko believes that the only explanation for Ferrari’s strong performance in the Mexico City Grand Prix qualifying is that they were running their power units at full power. Marko stated that there is no other explanation for their pace. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc claimed pole position, with teammate Carlos Sainz joining him on the front row. However, Marko emphasized that this strong qualifying performance may not guarantee them success in the race. Max Verstappen, who had been the favorite throughout the weekend, qualified third after encountering difficulties in Turns 13 and 14. Despite not securing pole position, Marko remains optimistic for the race, as overtaking is possible at this circuit.
