Why Red Bull came up short in the Mexico City GP

Lando Norris delivered a masterful performance in Mexico, clinching a dominant victory for McLaren and seizing the lead in the Drivers' Championship. Max Verstappen, who has been on a strong run, could only manage third place, finishing a considerable half-minute behind Norris. This outcome marks a notable shift from recent races, where Red Bull's RB21 had displayed superior pace. The Mexican Grand Prix saw Red Bull surprisingly struggle to match McLaren's speed, leaving Verstappen in a tough battle just to secure a podium finish, raising questions about their performance at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez circuit.
