Lando Norris reclaimed the championship lead from teammate Oscar Piastri by winning in Mexico City on Sunday to snap a five-race losing streak to create a tense final push for the Formula 1 title.
“I think it is just my best performance through a whole weekend,” said Norris, who started from the pole, was never challenged and won by 30 seconds.
The sixth victory of the season for Norris was his first time back on top of the podium since winning the Hungarian Grand Prix at the start of August. More important, Norris pounced on the recent slump Piastri has fallen into to tighten the teammates’ bid to dethrone Max Verstappen as world champion.
