Lando Norris was perhaps as dominant as he has ever been in Formula 1, as he took back the championship lead via his half-a-minute victory at the Mexico City Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
Ensuring that he did not relinquish the race lead at the start, holding both Ferraris and Max Verstappen at bay during the near kilometre-long race to the first turn, the McLaren was in a league of one, and left the attention to the battles behind him.<\/p>\n
Although it is without question that Norris\u2019 superb weekend was aided by his McLaren\u2019s pace-setting machinery, equally so is the fact that he revelled on a weekend in which the pressure was on him. With Max Verstappen chipping away at both Norris, and his teammate Piastri, and having not won a race this side of the summer break, the Brit needed to seize the initiative and did so.<\/p>\n

However, he responded to those jeers and told Sky Sports F1<\/a>: \u201cPeople can do what they want, honestly. They have the right to do it if they want to do it. I think that\u2019s sport sometimes.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know why I can\u2019t stop laughing when I get booed. I think it makes it more entertaining for me. So yeah, they can keep doing it if they want. Of course, you don\u2019t want it. I prefer to have people cheer for me. It was the same in Monza and a few other places.\u201d<\/p>\n “Beautiful weekend” \ud83e\udde1<\/p>\n It was indeed an impressive weekend in Mexico City for Lando Norris! \ud83d\udc4f#F1<\/a> #MexicoGP<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/096Ty6nb0x<\/a><\/p>\n
