Mexico 2026: Piastri reports bizarre Q2 exit

Formula1.com reported Oscar Piastri was out in Q2 before the 2026 Mexico City Grand Prix, with the McLaren driver saying he was unsure why.

Formula1.com reported that Oscar Piastri was eliminated in Q2 ahead of the 2026 Mexico City Grand Prix. The outlet said the McLaren driver called the exit "bizarre" and said he was "not sure what happened."

With the story not confirmed beyond that report, no cause, qualifying time or grid position is established in the supplied material. Piastri, born on 6 April 2001, has raced in Formula 1 for McLaren since 2023 and had made 79 starts going into the event.

He also arrived at the 2026 weekend seventh in the drivers' championship on 144 points. That places the reported Q2 exit in the context of his season, while the details remain limited to what Formula1.com reported.
