Lando Norris Wins Mexican GP, Takes Lead in F1 Drivers' Championship

Lando Norris dominated the 2025 Mexican Grand Prix from pole position, leading every lap and securing a commanding victory that propelled him to the top of the Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship, overtaking his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri by a single point. His performance, which included a more than 30-second lead over second-place Charles Leclerc, was described by Norris as his best throughout an entire race weekend, highlighting his consistent pace from practice sessions to the race finish. The race featured a chaotic start with multiple cars competing closely, including Lewis Hamilton, who received a 10-second penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage during a battle with Max Verstappen. Verstappen, although attacking late in the race, finished third behind Leclerc, while Haas driver Ollie Bearman impressed by securing fourth place ahead of Piastri, who dropped to fifth and lost the championship lead. Several drivers retired due to mechanical issues, further shaping the race dynamics, with Norris's win marking McLaren's return to strong form in the championship fight. The next race is scheduled for November 9 in Brazil, with the championship battle remaining highly competitive.
