What changed

Charles Leclerc completed a Friday practice double at the Mexico City Grand Prix, putting Ferrari at the top in both FP1 and FP2.

His team-mate Lewis Hamilton suffered a technical failure, while Lando Norris finished second in FP2. Friday also featured Formula 1 debuts for new faces.

Why it matters

Ferrari leaves Friday with the strongest headline and the biggest question. Leclerc has led both sessions, but Hamilton’s failure means the team has one car needing attention before the weekend’s more consequential running.

The key unknown is what failed and how quickly Ferrari can repair it. Until that is clear, Leclerc’s pace is encouraging for Ferrari, but it does not yet tell the whole team’s story.
