Mexico City GP 2025: A Turning Point in the Title Race
The Mexico City Grand Prix took place on 24–26 October 2025 at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. Lando Norris converts pole position into victory and boosts his title challenge.
Victory and Leadership Change
Norris started from pole, navigated early chaos and controlled the race. Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) came in second, while Max Verstappen (Red Bull Racing) finished third despite a difficult weekend. Norris now leads the Drivers’ Championship for the first time since April.
Challenges for Rivals
Oscar Piastri (McLaren) salvaged a fifth place after struggling. Alpine endured another low point, both drivers finishing uncompetitive. Meanwhile, Carlos Sainz faced too many issues to score.
Strategy & Analysis
McLaren’s superiority exposed a surprising weakness in Red Bull’s car at altitude. Key factors: start execution, tyre strategy and coping with altitude. A highlighted topic: the consistency of stewarding penalties, particularly in relation to Lewis Hamilton.
Summary
The 24–26 October 2025 weekend marks another step in the title fight. Norris wins and his rivals must respond.
