Lewis Hamilton proved Max Verstappen’s age theory wrong with first Ferrari pole at Mexico City GP

Lewis Hamilton secured his first pole position for Ferrari at the Mexico City Grand Prix, edging out Mercedes driver George Russell by less than a hundredth of a second. The achievement marked Hamilton's first pole position since the 2023 Hungarian Grand Prix, extending his Formula 1 record to 105 career poles on his 43rd weekend with Ferrari.

F1 Oversteer argues that Hamilton's performance disproves comments from Max Verstappen, who recently suggested the veteran driver would not get any faster with age. The publication notes that Hamilton has significantly closed his qualifying gap to Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc this season, narrowing the average margin from over two-tenths to four hundredths of a second.
