Norris and McLaren Keep Momentum
Lando Norris once again demonstrated why he’s considered a future world champion. Finishing just few seconds behind Verstappen, the McLaren F1 Team driver managed tire wear expertly and showed aggressive mid-race pace that forced Red Bull to respond strategically. Teammate Oscar Piastri finished fifth, adding key points that keep McLaren in the fight for second in the Constructors’ standings. The Woking-based outfit’s steady progress since mid-season illustrates how sustained innovation and technical refinement pay dividends.
Ferrari Fights Back
At Scuderia Ferrari, Charles Leclerc brought home a well-earned third place, +15 seconds behind the leader, while teammate Lewis Hamilton finished fourth. Ferrari’s performance confirmed a stable upward trend as both cars demonstrated strong straight-line speed and improved reliability. The Italian team continues to balance technological ambition with heritage branding—a duality investors often find compelling in iconic global enterprises.
Mercedes Shows Consistency
The Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team recorded valuable points with George Russell in sixth place. Although not fighting for podiums this weekend, Mercedes’ operational resilience and incremental improvements reflect a team building for the next regulation cycle.
What Comes Next
As the paddock heads south to Mexico City, questions remain whether McLaren or Ferrari can finally break Red Bull’s winning streak. Verstappen’s momentum appears unstoppable, but the midfield fight remains fierce—especially as teams prepare upgrades for the upcoming São Paulo Grand Prix.
