2025 F1 Mexican GP Saturday free practice analysis with Mark Slade by Peter Windsor

In the build-up to qualifying for the Mexican GP McLaren-Mercedes' Lando Norris was easily fastest on soft Pirellis. Sir Lewis Hamilton finished the session second-quickest for Ferrari, ahead of George Russell (Mercedes) and Charles Leclerc in the other Ferrari. Oscar Piastri, however, was only fifth quickest for McLaren - and Max Verstappen, the only driver also to complete a heavy-fuel run in FP3, was only P6 for Red Bull-Honda. Championship-winning Race Engineer, Mark Slade joins Peter on Zoom to analyse the proceedings.
