\t\t\t\t\t2026 F1 Mexico City Grand Prix – Qualifying results<\/p>\n
Lewis Hamilton secured a brilliant pole position for the Mexico City Grand Prix, becoming the oldest pole-sitter since Mario Andretti in 1982.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The Briton secured pole with his final flying lap, with George Russell securing second on the grid ahead of Charles Leclerc in third.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Max Verstappen qualified in fourth but was on for a strong final lap, only to be impeded by McLaren’s Lando Norris. However, due to a one-place grid penalty, Kimi Antonelli will start from fourth with Verstappen in fifth.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
It was a disastrous session for McLaren’s Oscar Piastri who was eliminated in Q2, after managing to go only 13th quickest.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
