“What a race! It’s awesome to win here! Good start, good first lap, and I could go from there. Eyes forward, focused on what I was doing. The launch was really the key thing. Thanks to the team for giving me a great race car – and a big thanks to all the fans. Lifting the trophy here in the stadium was really special. The focus doesn’t change now, I’ll just keep pushing to deliver results like this and keep doing my best every weekend.”

"A difficult race. It felt like we had very good pace; it was just incredibly difficult to use it with the DRS train and getting stuck in dirty air, which was a shame. We did make some progress, and I learned a lot as well. We'll take those positives into Brazil."  

“A strong weekend in Mexico with a dominant performance and deserved victory by Lando, confirming that we have been able to extract the performance potential within the MCL39. This weekend’s performance is important confirmation of our competitiveness and provides the team with strong encouragement for the upcoming races.

“Lando had a fantastic weekend, finding pace in the car right from the start of his running here in Mexico. It was a pleasure to see Lando driving the way he has this weekend, delivering an excellent Pole lap and a commanding victory.

“There were also promising signs from Oscar’s side today. He put up a good fight racing in traffic all afternoon and was able to add more tools to his toolbox by adopting some adjustments based on what we learned throughout the weekend, in terms of driving the car quickly in these specific low-grip conditions.

“Thank you to all the team trackside and in Woking, as well as HPP, for the incredible support and hard work throughout the weekend. We will now debrief the double-header as a team and reset before turning our attention to Brazil as we enter the final four races of an exciting season for Formula 1.”
