Lando Norris copped some vicious backlash after winning the Mexican Grand Prix in an awkward moment that left him speechless. Lando Norris has somehow become the pantomime villain in F1 while he charges to the title. The 25-year-old McLaren has now been booed at two Grands Prix this season after standing on the podium, The Sun reports.

That DNF (did not finish) was a crucial moment in the F1 title race with the Briton falling 34 points behind teammate and championship leader Oscar Piastri. Since then, Norris has been quieter, more composed and calm even when he’s done well, achieved a podium or earned more points than his primary title rival in the last few races.

Lando Norris has been through the mill but this was a statement win for the McLaren driver, writes Andrew Benson.

McLaren boss Andrea Stella says Formula One title contenders Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri can both feel confident going into the last four races, with neither likely to have a track advantage.

Verstappen started fifth and tried to go four-wide with Norris, Leclerc and Hamilton at the start of the race. He was pushed onto the curb and went wide at Turn 1 through the grass before rejoining the track ahead of where he started.

Oscar Piastri admitted he was dumbfounded at his lack of pace after another difficult qualifying session for the F1 championship leader. Piastri, who has a 14-point lead over McLaren teammate Lando Norris and 40 points ahead of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, has endured a poor run of form and Saturday at the Mexico GP was no different.
