Norris Wins Mexico GP, Reclaims Championship Lead

Lando Norris converted pole into a dominant Mexico City Grand Prix victory, finishing roughly 30 seconds clear of the field. The win — McLaren’s first in Mexico since Ayrton Senna in 1989 — moved Norris back into the drivers’ lead by one point over teammate Oscar Piastri with four races remaining. Max Verstappen remains a realistic threat, sitting 36 points adrift. Norris credited a targeted debrief and setup tweaks that put the MCL39 into a “sweet spot,” and team principal Andrea Stella said the weekend should bolster team confidence. Despite the triumph, Norris was repeatedly booed by parts of the Mexico City crowd amid fallout from the Monza team-order controversy, a reaction he downplayed, and the race also featured Oliver Bearman’s career-best fourth place.
