Overview
- Lando Norris moved one point ahead in the standings with a commanding win at the Mexico City Grand Prix.
- Oscar Piastri’s 34-point cushion after Zandvoort has vanished following a four-race run without a podium.
- Norris said he doubted himself earlier in the year and held post‑Singapore debriefs to push for a car feel that suits him.
- McLaren and Andrea Stella attribute Piastri’s dip to low‑grip, sliding tracks that better match Norris’s steering and throttle sensitivity.
- Max Verstappen has closed to 36 points off the lead with four rounds remaining, keeping the title fight open.
