Carlos Sainz took victory at the Mexico Grand Prix for his second race win of the season as Ferrari backed up their victory in Austin with another to move above Red Bull in the Constructor’s Championship.
Red Bull’s Max Verstappen drove aggressively and was penalised with a 20-second time penalty which ended his hopes of winning and the drivers’ championship leader managed to recover for a sixth place finish.
But that allowed Lando Norris to cut the gap by 10 points as he claimed second and now trails by 47 points with four races to go.
The Brazilian Grand Prix is next up on the schedule and a sprint race affords more opportunities for the McLaren driver to challenge for the title.
