\t\t\t\t\t2026 F1 Mexico City Grand Prix starting grid after Max Verstappen penalty and disqualification<\/p>\n

Lewis Hamilton will start the Mexico City Grand Prix from pole position, the race which could crown Kimi Antonelli as Formula 1’s youngest world champion.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Hamilton secured a first pole for Ferrari and a 105th of his F1 career following an exceptional lap at the end of qualifying, with George Russell joining him on the front row.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

With an incredibly long run down to Turn 1, Charles Leclerc in third has an excellent starting position, while Antonelli starts fourth.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Max Verstappen lines up in fifth following a one-place grid penalty for an incident in second practice with Liam Lawson.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Lawson was also given the same punishment but starts from the pit lane after being initially disqualified in qualifying<\/a> for a technical infraction, and then with Racing Bulls opting to change PU components and make changes to the suspension set-up.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Reigning world champion Lando Norris is the top McLaren in sixth, with team-mate Oscar Piastri down in 12th after a disaster in the second part of qualifying.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

There is also a significant, but meaningless, grid penalty for Cadillac’s under-pressure Valtteri Bottas (50 places).\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
