Hamilton takes first Ferrari pole as Antonelli nears title
Lewis Hamilton claimed his first pole position for Ferrari at the Mexico City Grand Prix, with Kimi Antonelli positioned to clinch the world championship on Sunday.
Lewis Hamilton secured pole position for the Mexico City Grand Prix, his first for Ferrari and first in over three years, beating George Russell by 0.009 seconds. Kimi Antonelli qualified fourth and remains on course to become Formula One's youngest world champion at 20 years old. Antonelli needs only a ninth-place finish on Sunday to guarantee the title, or the championship is his if neither Russell nor Hamilton wins the race. Hamilton's 105th career pole came at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, making him the oldest pole sitter since 1982. Max Verstappen received a grid penalty for an on-track incident with Liam Lawson in practice, dropping him to fifth on the grid.
