Carlos Sainz topped the Friday practice times for Ferrari ahead of the Formula 1 Mexico Grand Prix. Here’s how and when to watch qualifying.
On a truncated opening day of running, Sainz led the times in the FP2 tyre test from McLaren’s Oscar Piastri, while George Russell suffered a heavy crash for Mercedes.
Max Verstappen missed the vast majority of the session with a Red Bull engine issue, limiting him to just four laps in FP2, while Alex Albon missed the entire session for Williams due to crash damage from a collision with FP1 driver Oliver Bearman in Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari in the opening session.
RB’s Yuki Tsunoda took third in both sessions on Friday, with Leclerc in his repaired Ferrari in fourth in second practice, as McLaren’s Lando Norris rounded out the top five.
