F1 standings: Lando Norris takes title lead as Max Verstappen closes gap on Oscar Piastri

Lando Norris avoided early mayhem to win the Mexican City Grand Prix from pole position on Sunday and take the Formula One championship lead from McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri by a single point.

Piastri, who had started the race in seventh place and 14 points clear of the Briton, finished fifth to fall off the top for the first time in 16 weeks.

Charles Leclerc was runner-up for Ferrari, 30.3 seconds behind Norris, while Red Bull's reigning champion Max Verstappen took his sixth successive podium in third place after a nailbiting finish just 0.7 behind the Monegasque.

Oliver Bearman was fourth for Haas in a career-best result for the Briton, a late virtual safety car ending Piastri's hopes of getting past.

The British team retained the constructors’ title in Singapore earlier in October, winning it for the 10th time as they now hope to crown their first drivers’ champion since Lewis Hamilton in 2008.

Here are the latest drivers’ and constructors’ championship standings for the 2025 F1 season...
