George Russell, who replaced Lewis Hamilton, infected with COVID-19, had the best chance of winning on Sunday.
The 22-year-old Briton, who took over his compatriot’s car, overtook another Mercedes driver, Valtteri Bott, early in the race and was in the lead for a long time, but the mechanics took the victory away.
During the stop, Mr. Russell had the wrong tires fitted, so he had to rush back to change them. What’s more, after a few laps the Briton punctured the new tires, had to stop again in the service area and even dropped to fifteenth position.

V. Bottas, who finally took seventh place, was also affected by the errors of the mechanics. In the closing laps, G. Russell, who outscored several competitors, finished immediately behind the Finn in eighth position.
Mercedes Point and Renault used the gifts. Third place went to L. Stroll, second place went to E. Ocon, who took the podium for the first time, and the first victory of his career was obtained by Sergio Pérez, who did not hold back tears at the sound of Mexico.
The 30-year-old, who has been racing in the F-1 since 2011, achieved his first victory in 194 races.

Be Ch. Leclerco and Verstappen did not finish, nor Nicholas Latifi, and the last of the finals were the debutants: the sixteenth was Jack Aitken, who replaced G. Russell in the Williams team, and the seventeenth was the injured Romain Grosjean in the ranks of the “Haas” Fi.
