The McLaren driver was given a hostile reception after his victory in Mexico City to seize control of the drivers’ championship over teammate Oscar Piastri and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen

McLaren driver Lando Norris has won the Mexico Grand Prix to move ahead of teammate Oscar Piastri at the top of the world championship standings. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc held off a resurgent Max Verstappen to secure second, while the reigning champion has closed to within 36 points of the championship lead.

The dramatic final act of the Mexico City Grand Prix played out behind Norris, as Verstappen tried to chase down Leclerc in the last few laps. The Red Bull driver pulled within DRS range of Leclerc on the penultimate lap, but then the Virtual Safety Car was deployed when Carlos Sainz Jr. stopped on the track, freezing the field.

MEXICO CITY — Lando Norris snapped a five-race losing streak Sunday and passed McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri in the fight for the Formula 1 championship by winning at Mexico City.

Lando Norris was surprisingly booed by the crowd after his victory at the Mexico City Grand Prix on Sunday. The McLaren driver, starting on pole, kept the lead at the start and then cruised to a 30-second victory over second-placed Charles Leclerc, with Max Verstappen completing the podium.

LANDO NORRIS has somehow become the pantomime villain in F1 while he charges to the title. The McLaren 25-year-old has now been booed at two Grands Prix this season after standing on the podium.
