Why Lando Norris was "flying" again on timely Mexico F1 pole lap
In Mexico City, Norris ended a pole-less run that dated back to June's Belgian Grand Prix, during which time he has seen Piastri take control of the championship, only for the Australian's recent wobbles and Red Bull's resurgence to bring Max Verstappen back into the frame too.
For Lando Norris to be booed after winning the Mexican Grand Prix in dominant fashion was a "pretty poor" move.
Oscar Piastri admitted he was dumbfounded at his lack of pace after another difficult qualifying session for the F1 championship leader. Piastri, who has a 14-point lead over McLaren teammate Lando Norris and 40 points ahead of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, has endured a poor run of form and Saturday at the Mexico GP was no different.
Norris now leads the way from team-mate Piastri by a solitary point with four rounds of the season remaining, while Verstappen is 36 points back from the Brit in P1. The four-time world champion did reduce the arrears by four points in Mexico, but that rate of progression will not be enough to topple the McLaren duo.
