Lando Norris produced a dominant drive en route to victory at the Mexico City Grand Prix, winning by over 30 seconds.

With team-mate Oscar Piastri crossing the line in fifth, Norris has taken hold of the championship lead for the first time since April.

The Briton has out-scored Piastri at each of the last five rounds, overcoming the 34-point deficit that existed after Norris' power unit-related non-finish at the Dutch Grand Prix.

While Max Verstappen remains a threat sitting 36 points behind Norris, it is an advantage that may be difficult to topple in the final four rounds.

Do you now consider Norris to be the favourite for the title? Or can Piastri and Verstappen still play a role?
