Mexican GP: Qualifying - Re-Cap & Results

MEXICAN GP - QUALIFYING - RE-CAP & RESULTS

    Sebastian Vettel will start the Mexican GP from pole position after it slipped out of Max Verstappen's hands. It had looked to be Red Bull on pole but Vettel proved too fast for the younger driver. Verstappen was also investigated after Qualifying for impeding Bottas but no further action was taken.

    Pierre Gasly missed Qualifying due to work being done on his Toro Rosso. The team had to replace his power unit after multiple issues throughout the weekend. Gasly, Vandoorne and Alonso all also have penalties for multiple engine component changes.

HOW IT WORKS:

Q1 = 18 minutes. All cars allowed to go out. At the end of the session, the five slowest are eliminated.

Q2 = 15 minutes. The remaining cars go out. At the end of the session, the five slowest are eliminated.

Q3 = 12 minutes. Final 10 cars go out. The final order at the end of the session is how the grid will line up. Fastest car starts from Pole Position.
