"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."
"Norris, who started from pole position and led every lap, now has 357 points to Piastri's 356, with Verstappen on 321 and four rounds remaining. Norris last led the drivers' standings in April, a gap of 189 days, and had not won a race since Hungary in early August. Sunday was his sixth victory of the season, one less than Piastri, and his 10th career win."
"I felt like the whole race I was right behind someone and struggling with the dirty air. That was pretty difficult, said Piastri. Today was about trying to limit the damage, but also trying to learn some things about that. If I've made some progress with that, I'll be happy. Oliver Bearman was fourth for Haas, a best result for the Briton and also the US-owned team, and was 1.1 seconds clear of Piastri at a chequered flag"
