In first practice for the Mexican Grand Prix, Alex Albon came within a tenth of a second of beating Max Verstappen to the fastest time. Williams proved to be Red Bull’s closest challenger, with Albon’s impressive pace only 0.095s adrift from Verstappen on the softest tyre compound. Sergio Perez’s lap time was within the acceptable tolerance set by Red Bull but was only good enough for third fastest. Lando Norris secured fourth place for McLaren, followed closely by Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari. Three drivers made their F1 debuts in this session, including Ferrari protege Oliver Bearman, who finished 15th quickest.
