McLaren's Lando Norris avoided early mayhem to cruise to a dominant Mexico City Grand Prix win and retake the Formula One championship lead by a single point from teammate Oscar Piastri on Sunday. Australia's Piastri, who started the race seventh and 14 points clear of the Briton, finished fifth after a virtual safety car in the last two laps denied him a shot at fourth after a thrilling chase.
Certainly when the car was winning and Oscar was winning, the last thing I could do is use the excuse that my car is not good enough, said Norris. I wasn't getting to grips and wasn't finding a way to make it work, and I'm finding a better way to make it work now. It's as simple as that. Of course, it gives you good confidence.
