TORO ROSSO

7 PIERRE GASLY

After sitting out the US GP, and with no experience of the Mexico City circuit, Gasly really needed more than a grand total of 12 practice laps thanks to a combination of engine problems and Sean Gelael using his car in FP1. So to be in the same ballpark as Hartley, albeit not showing quite the same pace, was a decent performance.

8 BRENDON HARTLEY

There’s no question that Hartley took everything he learned at Austin and applied it to a far more rounded performance in Mexico. Was doing well in qualifying before engine problems struck, and he showed decent pace in the race, albeit in a car that didn’t look to be a points threat, before retiring.
