Get ready, F1 fans! Lando Norris just delivered a truly "beautiful" performance at the Mexico Grand Prix, zooming from pole position to the top of the podium in style! 🏎️✨
On Sunday, the 25-year-old Briton led every lap, crossing the finish line a whopping 30.3 seconds ahead of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc. It’s not just any win—this was Norris’s first triumph in Mexico, his sixth of the season, and the 10th of his career. With four races to go, Norris now sits at 357 points, just one point ahead of his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri, who had been the runaway series leader. 🚀
"A beautiful win to celebrate here in this stadium in Mexico," Norris said, soaking up the cheers from the stands. "I’m just focusing on one weekend at a time, keeping my head down, staying relaxed—and it clearly paid off!"
Behind Norris, Leclerc secured his seventh podium of the year with a strong second-place finish. "I’m very happy with the weekend. We didn’t know what to expect here, so this podium is a nice surprise," the Ferrari driver smiled.
Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, who had dazzled fans by winning three of the last four races, had a tougher day. He battled early chaos and narrowly avoided a crash, ultimately taking third. "It was hectic at the start, but fighting back for P2 with all that happened was solid," he reflected.
Teen sensation Oliver Bearman scored a career-best fourth in his debut with Haas, while Oscar Piastri held on to fifth. Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli grabbed sixth, followed by George Russell and seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton. Esteban Ocon and Sauber’s Gabriel Bortoleto rounded out the top ten.
With momentum on his side and the crowd still buzzing, Norris has sent a clear message: the fight for the F1 title is far from over—and it’s getting more exciting by the lap! 🏆🔥
