Really good drive from Liam.
Speed and maturity and stayed ahead of some serious dudes tonight. -
They could have died.

Great win for Lando Norris in Mexico who know leads the Championship by one point with four races to go: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/articles/clyg2wxppy8o

Decent race to watch with plenty of action if you take out the battle for victory which was non existent.
Russel losing his shit at his race engineer was intriguing. I'm not a large fan of Russel has he came across as a prize dick on Drive To Survive, but I've warmed to him a bit as he's been pretty good for Mercedes. Think every argument he made with this RE I totally agreed with him.
Verstappen nailed the strategy bang on for his start. He was never likely to challenge Norris but he would have had second without a fortunate safety car. He was remarkably sanguine about it (with the safety car sometimes you win, sometimes you lose).
No idea what happened to Lawson, it didn't get any coverage other than the front wing broke. He had a superb Q1, but then seems to shit the bed in Q2. Complaining of no grip, which made little sense given how far ahead he was of Hadjar in Q1.
Bearman, the man. Getting the Haas to 4th is a huge achievement. He ersiously belongs in F1.
As for Yuki ... hard to see where he'll get a drive in 2026. Had a good race last week so I thought he might have finally turned the corner ... but he was abysmal again today.
