The Red Bull rider also scored three tenths against the Mercedes –Hamilton dominated Q1 and Q2– and his teammate and local idol Sergio Pérez, fourth, and more than half a second against the Ferrari.
The Dutchman did not stop improving in Q3 until he set a 1:17.775 that left the rest speechless. Meanwhile, Sainz, who wants to get even in Mexico for his dropouts in Japan and the United States, will start in fifth position ahead of Valtteri Bottas (Alfa Romeo) who surprised with sixth place.
Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari will start behind the Finn in a demanding Autodromo Hermanos Rodríguez, with the drivers still in doubt as to how to approach the race. For his part, Alonso will start from ninth position in search of points like those of Austin, although without the excessive emotion that he experienced in Las Américas.
