Lando Norris has emerged victorious at the Mexico City Grand Prix, securing a commanding win and reclaiming the lead in the Formula 1 World Drivers’ Championship. The McLaren driver dominated the 71-lap race, leading from start to finish and finishing over 30 seconds ahead of Charles Leclerc in second place.
Norris’s victory marks his seventh win of the 2025 season and puts him one point ahead of teammate Oscar Piastri in the championship standings. The win also extends McLaren’s lead in the Constructors’ Championship, with the team now sitting comfortably in first place.
A Thrilling Start
The Mexico City Grand Prix got underway with a thrilling start, as Norris launched off the line from pole position. However, the opening laps were not without incident, as a four-car battle for position ensued, with Max Verstappen and Leclerc going off track at Turn 1.
Despite the chaos, Norris maintained his composure and quickly built a lead, showcasing his exceptional speed and skill. Leclerc and Verstappen would eventually settle for second and third, respectively, with Oliver Bearman impressing in fourth place.
Norris’s Masterclass
Norris’s victory was a masterclass in every sense, as he demonstrated his ability to control the pace and dictate the terms of the race. His qualifying performance had set the tone, as he secured pole position with a stunning lap time.
Throughout the race, Norris was untouchable, with his McLaren MCL38 proving to be the car to beat. His pit stop strategy was flawless, and he managed to extend his lead over Leclerc to over 30 seconds.
Championship Implications
Norris’s win has significant implications for the championship, as he reclaims the lead from Piastri. The Australian had been in control of the championship since the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, but Norris’s dominant performance has turned the tables.
With four races remaining, Norris’s lead is slender, and the championship is wide open. Piastri will be looking to bounce back, while Verstappen’s third-place finish keeps him in contention.
What’s Next?
The Formula 1 paddock will next head to Interlagos for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, which takes place from November 7-9. Expect more thrilling racing and intense competition as the championship battle heats up.
