Practice 1, Mexico City Grand Prix: 1. Charles Leclerc, 2. Andrea Kimi Antonelli, 3. Frederik Vesti

Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) set the pace in Practice 1 at the Mexico City Grand Prix, with a best lap of 1:18.128, 0.659s quicker than Andrea Kimi Antonelli. Frederik Vesti was third, 0.733s off the top.

Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull Racing filled the top of the order, with the top 10 covered by 1.350s and five drivers within a second of the fastest time.

Seven of the top 10 set their best laps on the soft tyre; Iwasa (medium) did not, which may flatter the drivers ahead of them.

Pierre Gasly completed the most laps, 33.

Practice times don't always tell the full story: teams run different fuel loads and programmes, and the order often changes once qualifying runs begin.
