McLaren's Lando Norris dominated the Mexico City Grand Prix, taking control of the Formula One championship lead with a single point ahead of teammate Oscar Piastri. Norris' victory marked his sixth win of the season, and 10th career triumph, as he outpaced Charles Leclerc by an impressive 30.3 seconds.
Norris's pole position was secured from the start, but he faced early adversity as Verstappen cut the corner on his first lap, causing chaos in the midfield section. However, Norris expertly navigated the mayhem and emerged ahead, setting a clear path for the rest of the race.
Piastri, starting seventh, fought back to finish fifth after a virtual safety car denied him a shot at fourth place. Despite finishing behind Norris, Piastri is now just one point away from the championship lead, thanks in large part to Norris's dominant performance.
Max Verstappen took third place for Red Bull, just 0.7 seconds behind Leclerc. However, his efforts were thwarted by a series of incidents, including contact with Lewis Hamilton and later being passed by Oliver Bearman in the final laps.
Ferrari moved back into second place in the constructors' championship, ahead of Mercedes, as Norris's win was boosted by the Haas driver's impressive fourth-place finish. Norris also secured his sixth victory of the season, one less than Piastri, and cemented his position as a strong contender for the title.
Piastri acknowledged that the race was about limiting damage, but also trying to learn from his experience. Despite the setback, he remains in contention for the championship, and will need to be at the top of his game if he is to reclaim the lead from Norris.
As the season enters its final stretch, Norris's victory has given him a crucial boost. With four rounds remaining, Norris now has 357 points to Piastri's 356, with Verstappen on 321. The championship battle is far from over, and both drivers will be eager to secure the title in the next few races.

- I mean, what can you even say? He just dominated that track like a total boss! But at the same time... I don't know if Oscar Piastri isn't being too harsh on himself about not getting that 4th place 
. I mean, it's one point behind Norris and he still has four rounds to make up ground, right? On the other hand, Norris's win is like, super impressive and all that... but it feels like Red Bull was just really lucky with Verstappen's incident 
- could've gone either way and who knows what would've happened. Guess we'll just have to wait and see how this whole championship thing plays out 
anyway gotta keep an eye on these guys for the rest of the season, its anyone's game now
Lando Norris totally killed it out there on the track, his speed was insane 
! 10th career win and 6th of the season is pretty impressive 
. Norris's teammate Oscar Piastri fought hard but couldn't catch him, now he's just 1 point behind in the championship lead 
. And sorry to see Max Verstappen get held back by some crazy incidents 
. Ferrari moving into second place though is pretty sweet 
. Piastri is still in contention for that title though, he's not giving up yet 
! The championship battle is heating up and it's anyone's game 
!
Norris is just getting started! He's got the momentum now, and his teammate Piastri needs to step up their game to catch him! 
. And with a 30.3 second gap over Leclerc, he's got the speed and the skill to take it all the way! 
. And Red Bull is 3rd with 321 points. The championship is heating up, folks! 
dominating the track like a pro, I mean who else can say they're leading the championship? 
his win was epic, especially after all those setbacks on the first lap. Verstappen being passed by Oliver Bearman lol what a crazy moment! 
Piastri is still in the game though, I love how determined he is to catch up. Norris needs to keep slaying tho, can't let that lead slip away! 
, he's been having a really strong season so far. but it's also crazy how close Piastri is to him in the championship standings 
! but we have to remember that oscar piastri is still super close behind him, only 1 point away from taking the lead 
. He's just so consistent and has such a good understanding of his car. And Piastri, he's still in the mix, but he'll need to bring his A-game if he wants to catch Norris. The championship is getting intense! 
I'm loving the drama at the top right now, with only four rounds left to go...
. And that safety car at the right time for Piastri was a game changer 
. I'm loving the season finale hype now 
. The Constructors' Championship battle has heated up with Ferrari moving back into second place 
... now we just have to see how it all plays out in the remaining four rounds 
!
what a thrilling race! 
Norris' win was a dominant one, but you gotta feel for piastri who got robbed by that safety car 
still 4 rounds to go and the championship is anyone's game
