Lewis Hamilton Claims First Ferrari Pole at Mexico City Grand Prix
October 31, 2026 · 3 sources
Lewis Hamilton just grabbed his first pole position for Ferrari by beating George Russell by zero point zero zero nine seconds at the Mexico City Grand Prix. That ends a drought of more than three years for the seven hundred and one race veteran who took his one hundred and fifth career pole. Max Verstappen looked fast until he locked up his brakes and ruined his final lap. Meanwhile, Haas dumped Esteban Ocon for the rest of the weekend after a nasty radio spat with his engineer on Friday. Thirty-two year old reserve driver Ryo Hirakawa steps into the car for his grand prix debut. Ocon claims he was not sick, but the team refuses to comment further on his sudden benching. Fernando Alonso suffered a brutal water leak in his engine and had to park his car on track after looking like a surprise contender. To make matters worse, Isack Hadjar picked up a formal warning from stewards after shoving an aggressive paddock guest out of his personal space.
