Force India team principal, Vijay Mallya says he was satisfied with his team’s performance in qualifying at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.
Mexican home-hero Sergio Perez will line-up ninth on the grid, one place ahead of teammate Nico Hulkenberg.
Four tenths of a second separated Red Bull’s Daniil Kvyat in fourth and Hulkenberg in tenth place.
“I feel satisfied with our performance today. As we predicted, the grid was very tight with just four tenths separating the fourth-placed car and Nico in tenth.
Mallya believes Force India have the race pace to move forward in Sunday’s race.
“Both Checo and Nico drove very well today and we are well-placed to deliver a strong performance in the race. There are some question marks over what the weather will do tomorrow, and given the fresh tarmac that could make for some tricky conditions.
Rain is forecasted at some stage on Sunday and Mallya says Force India are ready for any weather condition.
“Whatever the weather, we’ve shown recently that we can react quickly and make the right calls when it matters.”
