Lando Norris Leads 2025 F1 Championship After Mexican GP Win

Lando Norris has taken a clever approach to improve his qualifying performance by removing the delta time from his dashboard since the Monaco Grand Prix in May. This adjustment allows him to focus solely on executing each lap without being distracted by comparisons to previous lap times, resulting in a more consistent and aggressive driving style. His strategy paid off with a dominant pole-to-flag victory at the Mexico Grand Prix, where he led by over 30 seconds and took the lead in the 2025 Formula 1 Drivers' Championship by one point over teammate Oscar Piastri. Norris attributes his recent success not only to this dashboard change but also to improved confidence and a better balance with his McLaren car after an internal debrief and ongoing technical adjustments. Despite Max Verstappen trailing behind, the championship battle remains tight with four races left in the season. Norris's resurgence, marked by multiple poles and podiums following a mid-season slump, positions him as a strong contender for the world title.
