Sainz fastest
Russell crash in the second practice session in Mexico
The first two free practice sessions for the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Mexico City were marked by accidents. After Alex Albon's crash in the first practice session, George Russell lost control of his Mercedes car.
Although Russell limped a little on the way to the medical car after the off due to a driving error, a subsequent medical examination at the circuit's medical center at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez did not reveal any injuries, which is why he was released from there, as the racing team announced. For the 26-year-old, there was light and shade after setting the fastest lap in the first practice session.
Verstappen with problems
World championship leader Max Verstappen completed laps, but also had to contend with problems. "Something is wrong with the engine. It's not behaving well. I have no power," the Dutchman said on the radio shortly before the end of the first session, which he finished in fourth place. "It's not a serious problem, it just needs to be solved," said Red Bull's motorsport consultant Helmut Marko in an ORF interview after practice number two.
Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz set the fastest lap ahead of McLaren driver Oscar Piastri, Yuki Tsunoda from Racing Bulls and Austin champion Charles Leclerc.
