- Briton splits Ferraris to come second; Leclerc third
- Verstappen trails in sixth after double penalty
Ferrari might have claimed an impressive win at the Mexico City Grand Prix but it was a race notable as Max Verstappen suffered a double blow of his own making and significantly adverse impact, his repeatedly uncompromising driving against the world championship rival Lando Norris deemed unacceptable and proving costly to his title charge.
Carlos Sainz took a commanding victory for Ferrari at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, a tour de force for the Spanish driver with his teammate Charles Leclerc in third that establishes the Scuderia as very much now a leading force on the grid who may yet play a significant role in the world championship.
