The Monegasque clocked a best lap in one minute and 17.166 seconds to beat the Spaniard by 0.067 seconds, leaving newly-crowned three-time world champion Verstappen third for Red Bull.

MECICO CITY — A surprised Charles Leclerc admitted he did not expect his success on Saturday after he secured pole position ahead of teammate Carlos Sainz as Ferrari locked out the front row for Sunday’s Mexico Grand Prix.

"It’s two weekends in a row where we say that we don’t know if we have the pace," said Leclerc."People will start not believing us anymore! To be honest, I did not expect to be on pole today -- I thought we were lucky after FP3. "I'm just struggling to understand where we can find half a second -- and then we go half a second slower in the next lap. It's very tricky with the tyres.

"We’re very close and it’s a very long race with a lot of laps to be raced. Of course, I would have liked to start first, but we’ll have a good slipstream into turn one so we’ll see what happens."
