Lewis Hamilton earns first pole with Ferrari at Mexico GP

Lewis Hamilton secured his first pole position with Ferrari at the Mexico GP, edging out George Russell by 0.009 seconds. This marks Hamilton's first pole since the 2023 season and his first in nearly two years. Hamilton attributed his success to adapting to the 18-inch tires introduced in 2022, which he has struggled with in the past. Despite the achievement, he acknowledged the challenges of the track and the potential for overtaking during the race. Hamilton will head into the race without long-run data due to issues during practice sessions.
