Lando Norris has surged to the top of the Formula One drivers’ championship standings after a commanding victory at the Mexico City Grand Prix. The McLaren driver secured a 30-second lead over Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, who narrowly held off Red Bull’s Max Verstappen in a thrilling finish. Norris’s triumph marks his 10th career win and his first in Mexico, propelling him to 357 points, one ahead of teammate Oscar Piastri, who finished fifth. With four races remaining, Norris has seized the momentum, also extending his lead over Verstappen, who has been in formidable form with six consecutive podium finishes. Norris attributed his success to his calm and focused approach, stating, ‘I’m just keeping my head down and focussing on myself. It’s working for me at the minute.’ The victory came in a carnival-like atmosphere at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, where Norris maintained composure and executed a flawless race. Meanwhile, Piastri acknowledged the need to adapt his driving style, admitting, ‘I’ve had to drive very differently in the last couple of weeks. It’s about adding tools to the toolbox rather than reinventing myself.’ As the championship battle intensifies, Norris’s relaxed mindset and consistent performance have positioned him as a strong contender for the title.
