Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz won the Mexican Grand Prix, turning his start from pole into victory.
Today's race was an eventful one. Sainz lost the start to Verstappen, but quickly managed to regain the lead with a beautiful overtaking on the late braking - after that the Spaniard did not give the first place to anyone else. As for Max, the Red Bull driver managed to push Lando Norris off the track twice in a row and received a penalty of 20 seconds, which threw him away from the leading group.
Norris unlike his rival in the fight for the championship made no mistakes today and in the very end of the race passed Charles Leclerc in the fight for second position. Fourth and fifth were Mercedes drivers, and Verstappen finished only sixth, thus losing Lando as much as ten points.
