Great race! Verstappen finally penalized! And Mexico City finally gets a Spanish-speaking winner!

A... surprisingly decent race for Mexico? Not a classic by any means, but considering the circuit we take these. More overtakes than I would have expected, several incidents of driver drama to keep us occupied while the drivers manage their overheating cars - and we even got to pretend there was a chance of rain for a couple of minutes. It's a shame Norris never had to make an actual overtake on Leclerc at the end, but the chase was still somewhat exciting, and we got a bona fide battle between Hamilton and Russel as well.

Shame about Albon, that man has had some rotten luck this season. Also very unlucky for Alonso to end his 400th race weekend in a DNF, but I can't imagine he would have been able to do much this race regardless.

Stewarding and the FIA rules will be the main takeaway, and while I'm glad Max is getting penalised for once I can't wait until they address the rules. Though the inconsistent stewarding had been almost as big an issue so maybe I'm fooling myself into thinking anything will change.

Anyway, with Ferrari smelling blood in the fight for WCC (and technically WDC) I'm really looking forward to Interlagos now - probably the best track on the calendar?

McLaren should be very worried in the constructors championship

As a Kiwi, it was good to see Liam Lawson show some pace, especially during the early to middle part of the race. Hopefully he gets a permanent seat at the end of the year 🤞

Man, I hope Ferrari will come to regret choosing Leclerc over Sainz. I know Leclerc looks better on paper but Sainz definitely has the secret sauce to make magic happen.

Classic Max is back. But now he got penalize for it.
