Confirmed: 2019 Mexican Grand Prix starting grid - No grid penalty for Bottas!

With the Mexican Grand Prix imminent, the confirmed starting grid has been released by the FIA, and they have confirmed Valtteri Bottas will not be taking a grid penalty despite his massive Q3 shunt!

At the venue where he's won the previous two Grands Prix, Max Verstappen took a very impressive pole position on Saturday afternoon, beating the track record by a thousandth of a second.

However, the end of Q3 was overshadowed by a massive shunt from Valtteri Bottas, who slammed into the wall on the final corner of his second run, destroying his W10.

Shortly behind him came Lewis Hamilton and Verstappen, who barely had time to react as the accident had happened mere seconds before they came past. Verstappen was on a purple lap and didn't lift as he solidified his pole position, but not lifting would also be the cause of his eventual penalty, which dropped him from first to fourth on the grid.
