Lewis Hamilton praises Ferrari’s improved processes after qualifying third for the Mexico Grand Prix at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. He attributes the gain to execution and teamwork rather than new upgrades.
He starts behind polesitter Lando Norris, with teammate Charles Leclerc second. It marks the first time this season both Ferrari drivers qualify inside the top three.
Hamilton says Ferrari extracts more from its existing package, citing cleaner run-plans and sharper teamwork on a stable car specification. The focus sits on repeatable processes over headline development steps.
Starting P3 offers leverage on Mexico’s long run to Turn 1, with slipstream potential and variable grip influencing launch options. Track position and braking commitment could decide the opening exchange.
He expects race pace to hinge on tyre management and cooling at altitude, while remaining cautious about predicting outright performance against Norris, Red Bull, and McLaren’s race-day execution.
“We’re not necessarily moving the car forward with development, but we’ve extracted more from it, and the processes are better.”</fervogear_custom]
Since the summer break, Hamilton reports a steadier baseline, noting small procedural tweaks with engineers that improve confidence and consistency in qualifying and race preparation.

Despite a sprint win in China, a grand prix podium with Ferrari remains elusive. His best 2025 results are fourth at Imola, Austria, Britain, and the United States.
Hamilton calls starting third a “kind of perfect” position for Mexico’s long run to Turn 1.
Mexico serves as a marker for Ferrari’s operational progress and capacity to pressure the frontrunners. Converting improved qualifying into race execution now defines the next step in its momentum.
