Charles Leclerc set the fastest time in Friday practice for the Mexican Formula One Grand Prix at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, with the session also providing a platform for reserve drivers to showcase their abilities ahead of Sunday's race.
The Ferrari driver topped the timesheets during the opening running at the Mexico City circuit, where teams utilized the session to evaluate reserve and development drivers. The practice session took place two days before the Mexican Grand Prix scheduled for Sunday, November 1, 2026.
