The 2024 Mexican Grand Prix delivered on all fronts. Carlos Sainz amassed the victory but one of the other major talking points coming away from the event has been title rivals Max Verstappen and Lando Norris‘ insane battle.
During the early moments of the race, the two got tangled up in a fierce on-track fight that even went off the track. Going into a certain section of the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez circuit, Max Verstappen pushed Lando Norris off-track in which, the latter was forced into taking evasive action.
A lot has been said about the incident by the esteemed F1 personalities. Amidst this, Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc‘s reaction has hit the web via the post-race cool-down room.
Leclerc’s reaction is simply how the whole world reacted to seeing Verstappen and Norris going at it. Moreover, the Monegasque’s reaction came in the presence of Norris, who was laughing seeing Leclerc’s strong reaction. The Mexican GP incident was one of the many flashpoints Verstappen and Norris have had this year.
Charles Leclerc pleased with Ferrari ‘winning two races in a row’
While Charles Leclerc was a bit taken aback by the fierce tussle between Verstappen and Norris, the Mexican GP turned out to be fruitful for Ferrari. The outfit managed a strong 1-3 finish with Carlos Sainz and Leclerc.
Post the 71-lap event, Leclerc was very pleased with the efforts of the whole team.
The 2024 F1 season has proved to be nothing short of a mega rollercoaster. Ferrari has picked up the pace after two consecutive wins and going into the last four races, they are the favorites to lift the constructors championship.
Red Bull is pretty much out of the running with the lackluster RB20 and Sergio Perez‘s horrendous form. Keeping in view everything that has been discussed, the last few Grand Prix will prove to be an extremely fascinating watch.
