Norris Wins Mexico GP, Reclaims Championship Lead

Lando Norris produced a dominant lights-to-flag victory at the Mexico City Grand Prix, winning by about 30 seconds to reclaim the Formula 1 drivers' championship lead for the first time since April. His pole-to-chequered-flag performance moved him one point clear of teammate Oscar Piastri, who finished fifth and said he has lost early-season form and must "rediscover" the toolbox needed to drive the MCL38. A late Virtual Safety Car triggered by Carlos Sainz's spin prevented late overtaking and, together with contentious off-track rejoinings and contact between front-runners, drew criticism for influencing the result. Max Verstappen took third, while rookie Ollie Bearman scored a career-best fourth for Haas. With four races (and two sprints) remaining, the championship remains tightly poised.
