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”.

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?

Bringing the heat to Mexico.

There’s only one logical solution: upgrade your luggage allowance and take it all.

New life goal unlocked: Watching a Formula 1 grand prix from a castle.

Did you really drive past the MTC if you didn’t stop for a photo?

Not cool, Ferrari, not cool… But if we’re being honest, we’d have done the same thing.

You know it, we know.

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. 

Thanks, Lucas! One team, one dream.

Forget cooking, Oscar’s baking.

Always smiling, always dreaming, always pushing.

Thanks, team. Forever grateful for you.

NEVER GIVE UP.

All in a day’s work, right @landosmile?

Tweets that preceded incredible events.

On the charge. 

He’s soarin', flyin', there's not a star in heaven that we can't reach.

Beep, beep, coming through.

What a race. Anyone else need a lie down?

See you in São Paolo, Milo?

Lando Norris, the greatest showman.

Strap yourselves in and enjoy the ride, Papaya Army.

And that’s the way the cookie crumbles.

Never in doubt, right @Aimee_J_?

Another race? Yes please. The São Paulo Grand Prix is up next this weekend. See you there, team.
