“Overcoming challenges and unexpected obstacles on the track is what separates winners from the rest.”
Lando Norris delivered a commanding performance at the 2025 Mexico City Grand Prix, claiming victory and taking the lead in the Formula 1 World Drivers’ Championship. Starting from pole position, he stayed in control throughout the race and finished 30.3 seconds ahead of Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen completed the podium.
This win marks Norris’s sixth victory of the season and his tenth career Grand Prix win. It is also McLaren’s first triumph in Mexico since 1989. His teammate Oscar Piastri, who led the championship for 189 days, finished fifth after being affected by a late virtual safety car period.
With four races left in the season, Norris leads the standings with 357 points, just one point ahead of Piastri’s 356. The upcoming races promise an intense battle as both McLaren drivers compete for the championship.
Fans praised Norris for his skill, consistency, and composure under pressure. His strong start from pole and flawless race management were key to his success.
