Verstappen beats Hamilton in Mexico
Max Verstappen he won Mexican F1 GP in view of Lewis Hamilton world Czech Perez Once again, it drove thousands of Mexican fans who attended the event. autodromo hermanos rodriguez It was my second podium at home, but little by little I understood why they wanted to win. This was one of the few things a Mexican fan could shout after coming to see the world’s greatest show. He found himself faced with a race that was too distinctive in strategy, too much tire management, and lacking in hand-to-hand combat for the most desirable prize. Max defended his first position in Turn 1, winning a strategic battle by making better choices and doing his best without suffering. He came out soft and placed a medium to finish with a single stop. Hamilton chose to come out in the middle and put the difficult one last. That tire was slower than Max’s medium and that was the end of the race. 14th win Maxsurpassing the record of 13 wins in the same year michael schumacher (2004) and Sebastian Vettel (14th). Holland and Red Bull have no rivals.
Final result of the Mexican F1 GP
Red Bull got the right strategy against Mercedes
Verstappen and Hamilton reunited in Mexico to repeat a rivalry already in F1 history. This time they did it without betting the title, but it was already in Max’s hands. But to defend a year out of his vibrant and controversial title fight is a huge honor. Mercedes came out on the medium and wanted to finish on the hard tyre, thinking Verstappen’s medium would fail in the end. But little by little his hopes of victory faded. The script for the film was suspenseful at first, with everyone waiting for strategy and pending whether Max’s tires would hold up. But it ended like it started. There was no final twist, no fight between two opponents. not face-to-face. Low degradation on this track and top pacing for medium dictation. No goals scored in the 90th minute and the game lacked emotion. Max wins, pushed by his wall success. With 17 laps to go, Hamilton radioed that he had made the wrong choice of hard rubber. It was. He waited and waited, but Max’s tire problem never happened.
Lewis went from seeing victory with his eyes to having to look in the rear-view mirror. Perez was within two seconds on the medium rubber. He was able to hold on to his second place but didn’t do much more.
Hamilton took second place after a rough start. The Englishman overtook Russell on the good inside at Turn 3, which hurt George, who lost position on the ‘Czech’.
Sainz, fifth
Carlos Sainz finished fifth at the Mexican Grand Prix. At the start he tried to gain a position, but ‘Czech’ Perez closed the door on the inside of Turn 1 and the man from Madrid had to lift his leg too early to avoid the impact. He almost paid a heavy price for Leclerc trying to overtake him on the outside at Turns 1 and 2. Carlos pulls well and holds on to 5th place. From there he had nothing to do and caught the top four. He maintained a better pace than Leclerc in the first session and finished the race calmly.
Alonso easily lost 7th place due to another problem with his car
It’s a tonic for all seasons. Fernando Alonso shines on track, but his car has prevented him from adding the points he deserves. It happened again at the F1 GP in Mexico. No wonder the Asturians complained on the radio. What a season! What a season! Alonso got off to a great start at the start where he moved up two positions from 9th to 7th. He set a very good pace on the medium tyres, extending his first stint very well for a total of 40 laps. He took 7th place as best ‘human’ behind 6 best cars. But again, his Alpine failed again. He started to lose speed and Ricciardo and Ocon passed him. He couldn’t hide his disappointment in ninth place. I knew how it would end. He retired on lap 65 with six laps to go. Some good points have missed him, far more than what Esteban suffered after a campaign full of reliability failures in his Alpine.

New F1 champion names motorsport legends who helped him
2025 Formula 1 champion Lando Norris admitted that private messages and personal meetings with legends such as Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel and four-time MotoGP champion Casey Stoner played an important role in the championship fight.
Norris has spoken about the support he has received ahead of the decisive stages of the season.
“I have received so many powerful words of encouragement, messages and speeches from incredible people who are world champions in a variety of sports, from Lewis, Seb and many more.
Many people don’t know that I communicate with Seb. Some, especially Casey Stoner, wrote me a quick message just when I needed it most: “Think about this, believe in yourself, do this, do that.” That really helped me get back on track.”
Norris’ title chances were in serious jeopardy following the recent rise of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen. However, McLaren’s successful strategy in Abu Dhabi on the final stage of the season allowed the Briton to finish third at the Yas Marina Circuit and formalize the championship title.
An important component of success was the pilot’s psychological resilience. Norris made mistakes throughout the 2025 season that could have cost him the title, but he managed to withstand the pressure while his teammate Oscar Piastri succumbed to the pressure at key moments of the season.
Norris concluded: “When you win the championship by just two points, I’m sure that the faith and support of the people around me brought me these two points. That’s why I’m grateful to everyone, because sometimes you only need two points to win the championship.”

McLaren pilot: “I’m just hungry. I’m ready to drive in 2026”
McLaren pilot Oscar Piastri said that he was approaching the 2026 season with double motivation after winning his first Formula 1 championship and losing to his teammate Lando Norris.
While the Australian pilot completed the unsuccessful second half of the season in third place in the general classification, 13 points behind Norris, he gained a 34-point advantage after the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort.
After the Dutch stage, it appeared that the situation was completely under Piastri’s control. But a crash in Azerbaijan, as well as a series of poor performances in Austin, Mexico City and Brazil, slowly destroyed his title ambitions.
As a result, although the Australian player regained the pace he showed at the beginning of the championship at the end of the season, he did not have enough distance to close the gap in the final stages in Qatar and Abu Dhabi.
While McLaren attributes Piastri’s difficulties primarily to tracks with low grip, at other tracks the driver has traditionally looked much stronger.
Despite the disappointment of missing out on the title, Piastri gained valuable experience against Norris and Max Verstappen, giving him confidence ahead of attacking the title again in 2026.
“I’m just hungry and ready for it. Of course, I’m waiting for a few weeks to get some rest and not think about racing.”
However, many new things await us when we return to work; significant changes to cars and engines.
You never know how you’re going to start the season with such a big update to the rules, but I trust the people around me.
“Personally, he has a lot of confidence in me this season; I’m ready to use this experience in 2026, regardless of the car.”

MotoGP Ducati coach Gigi Dall’Igna: “Marc Marquez’s limitation was that he took risks that were unnecessary”
Gigi Dall’Igna He was one of the men who put his hand in the fire when he made the decision. Marc Marquez instead of Jorge Martin as a friend Pecco Bagnaia inside the box ducati official. But just one year later he was proven right. The Cervera native returned to the top of the motorcycling world with a landslide victory in the Desmosedici GP25.
Indeed, in recognition of this return to the top, DAZN released the documentary Volver, in which Ducati’s sports director reflects on the fact that Marc always pushes himself to the limit. Even when you don’t need to. And Dariña sees this as one of Marc Márquez’s few weaknesses thus far.
”His limitation is that he may take risks even when it is not necessary. If there had been a little more clarity, for example, some mistakes could have been avoided at some point,” Dall’Iña argued.
In this sense he also said: Marco RigamontiHe made his debut as a truck engineer for Marquez in 2025. For Italians, this exploration of boundaries is a trait that has brought them great success in the past.
“He always said this.I want to be remembered as someone who gave everything.. It shows on the track as he always pushes the bike to the maximum and always tries. He is not afraid to make decisions that go against the flow.. Moreover, he knows that if he makes a choice at the last moment that surprises the other drivers, it could give him an advantage,” Rigamonti said.
After becoming champion, Marquez was involved in an accident at the Indonesian Grand Prix and was forced to undergo surgery to recover from a shoulder blade injury. Just a few days ago, he was able to get back on a flat track motorcycle and is currently continuing to heal his right shoulder.
The goal, as Marc himself has reiterated both actively and passively, is to take part in the February test at Sepang. He doesn’t want to miss the start of the 2026 preseason.
