‘Emphatic’ Lando leads, Oscar limits damage + Bearman’s best – 2025 Mexico City GP Review with James Hinchcliffe + Esteban Gutiérrez

F1TV expert James Hinchcliffe and former F1 driver Esteban Gutiérrez join Tom Clarkson in the paddock to dissect a chaotic Mexico City Grand Prix.

A dominant Lando Norris converted pole into victory to lead the World Championship for the first time since Bahrain. He’s now a point clear of Oscar Piastri with four races and two F1 Sprints to go, so how will the mentality of both McLaren drivers change now they’ve swapped positions in the standings?

Max Verstappen finished third to score his sixth podium in a row, but having said Red Bull would need to be ‘perfect’ for the rest of the season if he’s to complete a sensational comeback in this title race, will Max leave Mexico the least satisfied out of the three championship contenders?

Ferrari had a mixed weekend, with Charles Leclerc securing back-to-back podiums and Lewis Hamilton unable to convert his best ever qualifying for the team into his first podium. The guys discuss his 10-second penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage, and whether Lewis will have learnt any lessons from his battle with Max.

Plus, how did Haas rookie Ollie Bearman deliver a career-best finish of P4? And could Mercedes have fought for a podium had they let George Russell pass Kimi Antonelli earlier in the race?
