WHO GOT YOUR MEXICO CITY GP DRIVER OF THE DAY VOTE?

Verstappen claimed his sixth Mexico City victory and Driver of the Day with 20.6% of the vote, holding off Lewis Hamilton in a race that crowned a new champion. Kimi Antonelli finished third to clinch his first F1 title, joining Verstappen and Hamilton on an all-champions podium.

The voting breakdown revealed the weekend's split focus. Sergio Perez grabbed 18.6% — the Mexican driver pulling strong support from the home crowd and the American fans who packed the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. Hamilton's runner-up drive earned 15.4%, while newly-crowned Antonelli took 11.3%. Charles Leclerc rounded out the top five at 5.6%.

Six Mexico City wins makes this Verstappen's most successful circuit, but Antonelli owned the day's narrative. The championship slate clears from here. The grid now knows the benchmark: beat the sport's newest champion when next season opens.
