Carlos Sainz Wins Chaotic Mexican GP for Ferrari

Carlos Sainz clinched his second win of the Formula One season at the Mexican Grand Prix, marking Ferrari's first victory at the venue since 1990. Despite starting from pole, Sainz lost the lead to Max Verstappen initially, but reclaimed it after a safety car incident and maintained his position to the end. Verstappen's aggressive driving led to two 10-second penalties during skirmishes with McLaren's Lando Norris, pushing him to a sixth-place finish and reducing his championship lead to 47 points. Norris capitalized on Verstappen's penalties to secure second place, while Charles Leclerc completed the podium in third. The race also saw Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and George Russell finishing fourth and fifth, respectively, amidst a tense final-stage duel. Meanwhile, Red Bull's Sergio Perez endured a disappointing home race, finishing 17th after facing penalties and collisions.
