Lando Norris has surged to the top of the Formula 1 Drivers’ Championship standings following a commanding performance at the 2025 Mexico City Grand Prix. The McLaren driver started from pole position and led every lap, crossing the finish line 30.3 seconds ahead of Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, who secured second place. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen completed the podium in third.
This victory marks Norris’s sixth win of the season and propels him to 357 points, just one point ahead of teammate Oscar Piastri, who has led the championship for 189 days. Piastri finished fifth after a challenging race, hindered by a virtual safety car period that disrupted his strategy.
With four races remaining, the title race is intensifying. Verstappen remains in contention, 36 points behind Norris, while Piastri faces pressure to regain momentum. The next race in Brazil on November 8 promises to be a pivotal moment in the 2025 season.
As the championship battle heats up, fans can expect thrilling performances and strategic battles in the final stretch of the season.
