Kevin Magnussen’s Lap 34 crash in Mexico broke up a Max Verstappen two-stop vs Charles Leclerc one-stop contest. With the race red-flagged everyone got to change their tyres for free and had no need of further pit stops. In this re-booted contest Verstappen simply drove off into the distance for his 16th win of the season, leaving behind a sometimes-enthralling dice between Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton for runner-up.
