The Mexico City Grand Prix according to social media
Mexicat, lucky mascots and Bruce Almighty: Mexico City’s best tweets
Lando's recovery drive from P17 to P5, and Oscar’s defiant defence of P8 after taking damage early in the race, resulted in one of the most entertaining grands prix of the season, but despite their heroics, it was Mexican fan Milo who proved to be the star of the show.
The young McLaren supporter captured the hearts of Formula 1 fans around the world for his adorable reaction as he got to meet Lando on his birthday weekend. Milo's dreams came true in Mexico City after he was spotted in the crowd waving a sign asking for a photo, where he dubbed himself as Lando’s “Mexican No.1 fan”.
A birthday he'll never forget 🥹🧡

Throughout the weekend, you kept up with all of the action on social media using #FansLikeNoOther. Here’s our round-up of your funniest and finest reactions...
Loads of great suggestions, but we all agree that the name should be Mexicat, surely?

Not cool, Ferrari, not cool… But if we’re being honest, we’d have done the same thing.
Appreciate the thought @McLarenF1, but we think it’s better like this 😉 pic.twitter.com/4T7VI61hm7

There was all to fight for on the Sunday after a tricky qualifying session. Lando missed out on Q3 for the first time since Miami, falling foul to a poorly timed yellow flag on his final push lap, but you rallied behind him.
Tomorrow will be better. Long run pace was promising.
