Lando Norris claimed a ninth-place finish in the Mexican Grand Prix and admitted after the race that the strategy choice from the team potentially hampered his result compared to his teammate Daniel Ricciardo.
Starting from eighth on the grid, the Bristolian dropped as low as 15th after switching to hard tyres on Lap 31, but was able to fight his way through the field, once again in the final laps of the race, and claimed two points for the Papaya team.
Ricciardo was handed a ten-second penalty for a collision with Yuki Tsunoda, but this didn’t affect him, due to switching to soft tyres and finding some pace that wasn’t there at the start of the race.
