LANDO NORRIS cut Max Verstappen ’s world championship lead by 10 points after the Red Bull driver was handed 20 seconds in penalties as he forced his title rival off the track in a dramatic Mexican Grand Prix .
McLaren challenged that five-second penalty as they arrived in Mexico, claiming that Norris was ahead and Verstappen had forced him off the track, but the stewards rejected their right of review. On this occasion, the stewards agreed that the Dutchman was in the wrong. The championship leader was initially handed a 10-second penalty for forcing Norris off the track at turn five.Advertisement His race engineer Gian-Piero Lambiase replied: “There was a lot of whinging. A lot.”
The Mexican crowd have roared on Sergio Perez all weekend, despite the under-pressure Red Bull driver qualifying only a lowly 18th. The Red Bull man soon charged back up to finish sixth, however, as he attempted to limit the damage in pursuit of his fourth successive world title.
