Remarkable stuff so far in qualifying. Norris was fastest but the top ten covered by 0.4s and Bearman was second in Q2… #F1 #BrazilGP

OUT in Q2: Alonso Albon Hamilton Stroll Sainz #F1 #BrazilGP

That trouble became a disaster as he drops out in 16th place. Could be time to opt for a pit lane start and take a new power unit and make a number of set-up changes #F1 #BrazilGP

Verstappen in trouble in Q1. Says the ride is better but a big slide hurts his lap and he’s in the drop zone with one last run left #F1 #BrazilGP

Sauber nearly firing up Bortoleto’s car. “On a knife edge” according to Wheatley, but a delay to the start of qualifying for barrier repairs will help! #F1 #BrazilGP

Back comes Bortoleto’s destroyed car. He’s just run down the pit lane after being cleared from the medical centre - amazing work from the safety systems to jump out of that one #F1 #BrazilGP

Enormous accident for Bortoleto at Turn 1 on the final lap. DRS still open just as he went for a move, hit the inside wall and then a massive impact on the outside. Thankfully he says he’s OK but that car is completely done #F1 #BrazilGP

Antonelli all over Norris with four laps to go, but can he get close enough to send one? #F1 #BrazilGP

Norris starting to struggle on his softs and Antonelli gets within DRS range… #F1 #BrazilGP

Only Norris, Alonso, Stroll, Gasly and Albon now on softs for the restart after tyre changes. Rolling start #F1 #BrazilGP

Sprint restarting at 11:35 local time, so in four minutes #F1 #BrazilGP

Three cars crashed at the same corner! Hulkenberg and Colapinto all individually too. Antonelli says Norris hit the kerb and splashed water on track. Red flag #F1 #BrazilGP

Piastri’s crashed out at Turn 3! #F1 #BrazilGP

Top four unchanged but Verstappen gets Alonso for P5 #F1 #BrazilGP

Everyone starting on slicks, but the top eight are split. Mediums for the McLarens, Alonso and Stroll, softs for Antonelli, Russell, Verstappen and Leclerc… Still damp too #F1 #BrazilGP

Hamilton gets a reprimand for failing to slow under double waved yellows when Leclerc spun. Stewards accepted he didn’t see the flashing yellow panel, but once he saw Leclerc and a green he would have known he was in a yellow zone and only hesitated on accelerating #F1 #BrazilGP

Sprint grid top ten: Norris Antonelli Piastri Russell Alonso Verstappen Stroll Leclerc Hadjar Hulkenberg #F1 #BrazilGP

Norris is quickest from Antonelli, Piastri only P3, Alonso P5, Verstappen sees a fastest first sector drop away and he’s P6! #F1 #BrazilGP

Five go early in SQ3, five wait. First times end up: Norris Antonelli Russell Piastri Leclerc #F1 #BrazilGP

OUT in SQ2: Hamilton Albon Gasly Bortoleto Bearman #F1 #BrazilGP

OUT in SQ1: Colapinto Lawson Tsunoda Ocon Sainz #F1 #BrazilGP

At 10:43 local time, Alpine confirms Franco Colapinto as staying with the team alongside Pierre Gasly in 2026. 10 - Gasly's driver number 43 - Colapinto's #F1

Williams with a name tweak to Atlassian Williams F1 Team next year, and a slightly retro logo as a nod to Sir Frank #F1

Aston Martin has named Jak Crawford its third driver for 2026, with the American acting as the team's reserve at all races next year as he steps up from F2 #F1

FIA on the marshals at T1: "As soon as it became apparent that Lawson had pitted, the instructions to dispatch marshals were rescinded, and a double yellow flag was shown in that area. We are still investigating what occurred after that point." #F1 #MexicoGP

The FIA explains the VSC was required because of the info given from trackside after Sainz spun: "The car subsequently began smoking and race control received notifications of fire, making it clear that marshal intervention would be required for recovery." #F1 #MexicoGP

Sensational drive from Bearman. His career-best fourth place, and he was under pressure throughout but also so clinical to gain those positions early on #F1 #MexicoGP

Still an excellent recovery from Verstappen, and that result closes the championship up even further compared to when we arrived: 1. Norris 2. Piastri +1 3. Verstappen +36 #F1 #MexicoGP

Lando Norris wins the Mexico City Grand Prix! It's second for Charles Leclerc, and Max Verstappen takes third place. Fourth for Ollie Bearman! Ahead of Oscar Piastri, so Norris leads the championship by one point #F1 #MexicoGP

VSC ending, nowhere really for Verstappen to pass left #F1 #MexicoGP

Final lap, still under VSC... #F1 #MexicoGP

Yellow flags and it says DRS is disabled in Zone 1. VIRTUAL SAFETY CAR! Verstappen might not get a shot again now #F1 #MexicoGP

Verstappen not quite in DRS range with three laps to go... #F1 #MexicoGP

Verstappen 1.2s back from Leclerc, it doesn't look like Leclerc has an answer. Piastri also 1.2s behind Bearman now #F1 #MexicoGP

Verstappen told: "This is an insane stint Max, just finish it off" He's now within three seconds of Leclerc, but getting past will be really tough #F1 #MexicoGP

Russell's given up P6 to Antonelli after the earlier switch #F1 #MexicoGP

Bortoleto around the outside of Hadjar at Turn 1 and that's P10 for the final point as it stands, with Tsunoda right behind both #F1 #MexicoGP

What a send from Piastri! Down the inside of Russell into Turn 1 and he takes P5 from the Mercedes. Surely he's got the pace to get Bearman too to keep his championship lead #F1 #MexicoGP

Just 5.5s between Leclerc and Verstappen now, 12 laps to go #F1 #MexicoGP

Verstappen continues to close in on Leclerc. 7.7s now the gap, but will his tyres hold on long enough? Don't forget Leclerc is on older mediums that also didn't hold up brilliantly... #F1 #MexicoGP

Bearman, Russell, Piastri, Antonelli and Hamilton all covered by eight seconds having made a second stop. Since Russell upped the pace, Bearman hasn't put a wheel wrong and has pulled out of DRS range again #F1 #MexicoGP

Verstappen now within ten seconds of Leclerc, and 15 seconds clear of Bearman and Russell. But both gaps could come down quickly #F1 #MexicoGP

Russell all over Bearman for what is now P4. The Mercedes looks much quicker right now #F1 #MexicoGP

Verstappen now 12s behind Leclerc and was 0.9s quicker on the last lap. But on those old softs it could get tricky late on. Leclerc says it's his pace, and is told he's going to the end. Can Verstappen make his tyres last and close in? #F1 #MexicoGP

Piastri forces his way past Ocon to run P6 behind Russell. The stewards have noted it for causing a collision - didn't see a lot in that on first viewing #F1 #MexicoGP

Verstappen now P3 as Bearman and Russell pit the next lap. Great stop from Haas to give Bearman a bit of breathing space #F1 #MexicoGP

Antonelli and Piastri pit at the same time! And so does Hamilton! It's a switch to a two-stop... Slow stop for Antonelli! Piastri is ahead. Verstappen now P5 #F1 #MexicoGP

Russell not catching Bearman at this point. 2.3s adrift of P3. Verstappen is right on Hamilton now and this should be a simple pass this time with the tyre difference... And is. Verstappen up to P7 #F1 #MexicoGP

After a lot of team radio chatter, Antonelli is told to let Russell through despite huge pressure from Piastri. Manages to do so before Turn 4, and keeps Piastri at bay too. Russell next to try and put pressure on Bearman #F1 #MexicoGP

Verstappen roughly a second per lap quicker than all of the others in the fight for P3, but overtaking is not simple here #F1 #MexicoGP
