Mexican Grand Prix: Starting grid with penalties applied

Charles Leclerc inherited pole position from Max Verstappen at the Mexican Grand Prix, with Ferrari falling into a sixth-straight qualifying victory and a front-row lockout to boot.

Verstappen had secured pole at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, but was given a three-place grid penalty for failing to slow under yellow flags after Valtteri Bottas crashed on his final flying lap.

Leclerc, Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton all gain a place, as Verstappen drops to P4.

Bottas took sixth, but his Mercedes needs significant repairs after a heavy crash at the end of Q3, which could bring grid penalties.
