Verstappen disappointed with Norris in Mexico GP qualifying: 'Could have taken pole'

Max Verstappen faced difficulties during qualifying for the Mexican Grand Prix, finishing fourth after a late mistake. He attributed his struggles to encountering Lando Norris, which affected his downforce and braking reference. Despite earlier issues with his car, Red Bull made adjustments that improved performance. However, due to a grid penalty from a previous incident, Verstappen will start fifth. He expressed doubts about his starting position and the challenges ahead, especially with Kimi Antonelli close behind, who could become the youngest world champion with a top-nine finish.
