No driver could improve enough to get into Q2.
Q2
A lot of drivers started Q2 on the medium tyres. If they manage to drive their fastest time on those tyres, they can start on them in tomorrows race. After the first stint Vettel was fastest with 1:15.914 min around the Mexico track. We saw a rare error by Lewis Hamilton who missed the apex of turn 11 on his hot lap. The drivers who had to improve to not be eliminated for Q3 were Carlos Sainz (Mclaren), both McLaren drivers Antonio Giovinazzi & Kimi Raikkonen and both Toro Rosso drivers Pierre Gasly & Daniil Kvyat. Sainz, Gasly and Kvyat improved their lap time and made it to Q3. Home GP driver Pérez was kicked out and came only 0.008s short in the Racing Point.
Q3
Max Verstappen was on P1 after the first stint with a 1:14.910. Charles Leclerc was only 0.114s slower. It took a long time before all drivers went out for a second run. Verstappen was the last car that went out with 2 minutes to go. Valtteri Bottas crashed his Mercedes in the final corner during his attempt.
Last years pole was scored by Daniel Ricciardo in the Red Bull with a lap time of 1:14.759 min.
