Red Bull's double world champion Max Verstappen swept to pole position at the Mexico City Grand Prix on Saturday with his sights set on a record 14th victory of the season.
The Dutch 25-year-old, who secured his second successive Formula One title this month with four races to spare, lapped the high-speed Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez with a fastest time of one minute 17.775 seconds.
The pole was the 19th of Verstappen's career and he will be hoping to convert it into a fourth Mexican victory to take the outright record of most wins in a season from German greats Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel, who both managed 13. Hamilton was fastest in the first two phases but his first flying lap in the top-10 shootout was deleted, leaving the Briton with no time on the board and the pressure on to make no mistake.
