Max Verstappen, that he was facing Grand Prix of Mexico with 12 points over Lewis Hamilton, he has extended his lead over the Briton to 19 points. They accompanied the Dutchman on the podium Hamilton and his teammate Sergio perez. Carlos Sainz, meanwhile, had to return the position to Leclerc by order of Ferrari and was sixth, while Fernando Alonso finished ninth.
Valtteri Bottas, Hamilton and Verstappen paired up in a spectacular outing. The one who took the cat to the water was the one who had left the furthest back and the one who had the most to lose, that is, Max Verstappen. Thereafter the Dutchman led from start to finish except when he made his first stop, which allowed Sergio perez lead the Grand Prix of Mexico, where he was a local driver.

Sainz and Leclerc return Ferrari to third position
After the start, Valtteri Bottas spun, damaging Daniel Ricciado’s car, for which both had to pit. This gifted to Pierre Gasly a quiet race that could finish in fourth position. Also to Ferrari, although the Italian team, seeing that Carlos Sainz had more rhythm than Leclerc, asked the Monegasque to let the Madrid pass on the lap 58. However, it was too late for him to hunt down Gasly. Not without controversy, Ferrari asked again Carlos Sainz to return the position to Leclerc before starting the last lap. Despite everything, the Italian team managed to regain third position in the Constructors’ World Championship to the detriment of McLaren, a team that they now lead by 13.5 points.
To one of Mercedes, who maintains the leadership, stays Red Bull. And it was thanks to Valtteri Bottas he got the fastest lap of the race on the last lap. Although being out of the Top-10 the Finn was unable to add the extra point, he prevented Max Verstappen from adding it.
Regarding the third title at stake, Fernando Alonso has equaled in overtaking Sebastian VettelTherefore, both will compete for the Overtake Award in the four races that remain from the present World Cup.
