A Historic Win of Verstappen at Mexico GP

Max Verstappen continues his record-breaking season by surpassing his own achievement. In a commanding performance at Mexico, the Red Bull driver secured his 16th win this season, exceeding his previous record of 15 victories.

Unfortunately for the home crowd, Sergio Perez's race ended abruptly in a crash on the opening lap. Lewis Hamilton claimed the second spot on the podium, with Charles Leclerc finishing third.

A flag period, prompted by Kevin Magnussen's crash, briefly interrupted the race. However, Verstappen's flawless performance during the restart secured another comfortable victory.

Lewis Hamilton, on the other hand, seemed pleased with the updated Mercedes W14, even commenting on the radio that the "balance is great." On Lap 40, he successfully passed Leclerc on the way to Turn 1, securing second place.
