Lewis Hamilton said he has a good chance of ending his unwanted record run of 19 Ferrari outings without a podium in Sunday’s Mexico City Grand Prix after qualifying third on Saturday.

The 40-year-old seven-time world champion will start the Formula One race behind pole-sitting McLaren title contender Lando Norris and his Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc.

“P3 is kind of the perfect spot actually at this track, so I’m hoping I can make the most of that at the start,” Hamilton said.

“I think our race pace is not too bad, but I think it’s difficult to know really. It’s going to be an amazing crowd tomorrow so I will try and give it a good race.

“I will try to find a way to move forward somehow at the first corner so it should be exciting.”
