Lando Norris delivered a dominant and statement win in the Mexico City Grand Prix to reclaim the leadership of the world championship from McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri by a single point with just four races of the season to go.

Knocking Piastri off the top of the standings for the first time since April with his first victory since July's Hungarian Grand Prix, Norris capped a stunning weekend at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez to beat Ferrari's Charles Leclerc by a whopping 30-second margin.

Leclerc just held on to second from Red Bull's Max Verstappen, whose third place means he again reduced his deficit to the driver at the lead of the championship with the reigning champion still in the hunt at 36 points back.

Piastri's weekend-long struggles in Mexico eventually saw him finish fifth after he finished on the tail of Haas' impressive Oliver Bearman, the British rookie achieving the best result of his nascent career and matching the team's best in their 10-season history.

Mercedes duo Kimi Antonelli and George Russell finished sixth and seventh after twice swapping position on track in an ultimately forlorn bid for a better result for the team.

Lewis Hamilton's wait for the first podium finish of his Ferrari career goes on after he finished eighth after receiving a 10-second penalty from stewards for leaving the track in an early duel with Verstappen.

Hamilton held his grid spot of third in the opening stint but his race unravelled when he was given the costly sanction by stewards for leaving the track and gaining an advantage fighting Verstappen at Turn Four. The old title rivals had banged wheels at the start of the same lap as the Red Bull made a move down the inside.
