LIVE | Formula 1 2019 Mexican Grand Prix qualifying - Who will be on pole?

Yeeeharr! It's time for the first meaningful session of the Formula 1 weekend in Mexico! Ferrari took the top spots in the final practice session, but both Mercedes and Aston Martin Red Bull Racing were knocking on the door. Who is going to start Sunday's Mexican Grand Prix from the font? Follow our liveblog below to find out!

Lewis Hamilton needs to outscore his Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas by 14 or more points to clinch his sixth F1 world championship in Mexico this weekend. So far in practice, Bottas is seemingly ahead. If the trend continues, Bottas will delay Hamilton's celebrations for at least another week.

Hamilton's weekend got off to a perfect start as he topped the timesheets in FP1, narrowly beating out Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc. FP2 was very much Sebastian Vettel's session as he beat Max Verstappen to top the timesheets on Friday evening. It was a different story for Mercedes as they finished fourth and fifth, over half a second down on their rivals.

In FP3, Leclerc took the spoils but Vettel was close. The German backed off during the final sector of his final lap suggesting he has much more to give. Bottas finished third while Hamilton finished fourth. Both Renault cars didn't feature during the slightly damp session because of a hydraulic leak. Hulkenberg and Ricciardo will race wth new MGU-Ks but will not need a penalty.
