F1 stars have already banked two valuable practice sessions in Mexico – with the exception of those who made way for rookies – as the likes of Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen and Lando Norris gear up for what many expect to be a hotly-contested qualifying on Saturday evening (BST).
It was no particular surprise to see Verstappen top the charts in both practice sessions, leading Alex Albon by a tenth in FP1 and Lando Norris by the same margin later in the day.
Daniel Ricciardo could also be a driver to keep an eye on as the weekend heats up. The AlphaTauri star registered top-eight lap times in both Friday sessions as he hopes to justify the team’s decision to stick with him, instead of plumping for up-and-coming star Liam Lawson in 2024.
