Verstappen and Hamilton Avoid Penalties, Leclerc Secures Pole in Mexico City

Max Verstappen, Fernando Alonso, and George Russell were summoned by the FIA stewards for impeding other cars at the pit exit during qualifying for the Mexico F1 Grand Prix. However, no further action was taken as the drivers argued that their actions were a result of the maximum delta time rule. The stewards acknowledged the need for a solution to avoid such incidents in the future. Lewis Hamilton was also cleared of failing to slow for yellow flags, while Logan Sargeant received a 10-place grid penalty for passing under yellow flags.
