Rosberg grabs Mexican pole from Hamilton

Nico Roberg beats his world champion Mercedes team mate Lewis Hamilton for the fourth time in succession to grab pole with his superior performance in the new Mexican circuit.

Lewis Hamilton managed beat his team mate in Q2 but in Q3 Rosberg was dominant. Hamilton, who sealed his 3rd title in USA last week seemed a bit off beat on all practice sessions and his late attempt to claim pole was ruined by a mistake in the final sector as he went off track and lost time and managed to stay in 2nd on the grid.

Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel took some risks to grab front row but he could mange only 3rd on the grid ahead of Daniil Kyvat in the Red Bull. Ricciardo and Bottas share 3rd row while Raikkonen and Alonso jusr qualified 15th and 16th.
