The Red Bull duo believe the chasing pack will have a chance of pole position on Saturday.
Red Bull drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez both think the fight for pole will be a close one in Mexico City, after a closely-run Friday practice day.
With Mexico City presenting unique demands on the cars due to the altitude at which the circuit sits, there are other factors for the drivers to consider throughout the weekend as well – though Red Bull still look like the team to beat. Having had his rivals in close proximity during free practice, with Lando Norris only a tenth behind during qualifying simulations, Verstappen is predicting a close time of things over one lap on Saturday.
Team-mate Perez was roared around the circuit in Mexico City every time he took in a lap as the home hero received huge support on Friday. “But as soon as you are out there’s a lot of attention, and it’s good to have so much support from all the fans. “We obviously went with different compounds also to understand them for Sunday, so I think overall, we are looking in a good position. I think we have a good direction that we need to take.”
