Who has made the list of Winners and Losers from a strange day at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez?
The qualifying session for the Mexico City Grand Prix was anything but ordinary. Fernando Alonso’s crash with the Aston Martin reflected the team’s current struggle, while Alex Albon’s impressive practice performance did not translate into a successful qualifying session. Lando Norris from McLaren also had a difficult time in Q1. Surprisingly, Charles Leclerc secured pole position for Ferrari despite not expecting it and not fully understanding how they achieved it. However, he remains cautious about the race as the track conditions will be different. Norris expressed disappointment about his starting position but aims to score points. Daniel Ricciardo’s standout performance for AlphaTauri, securing fourth place on the grid, proves that he is back to his former self and ready to contribute significant points to his team.
