Lando Norris has responded to questions about Red Bull after signing a new McLaren deal.

The grid for Sunday’s Mexican Grand Prix has been set after an incident-filled qualifying session.

No fewer than eight drivers found themselves in the race stewards’ bad books and even as the final car crossed the line, no one was quite sure who would be starting where on Sunday.

The front row at least was confirmed with Ferrari securing a one-two for the first time since the 2022 Monaco Grand Prix.

In the end, every driver investigated was cleated meaning the provisional staring grid turning into the confirmed one.
