The 2023 Mexico City Grand Prix at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez was another episode of “Max wins, everyone else discusses it later.” Max Verstappen snatched the lead early and cruised to victory, while home hero Sergio Pérez exited at Turn 1 after clashing with Charles Leclerc—brutal in front of your own mariachi band. A hefty shunt for Kevin Magnussen triggered a red flag and a restart, but it didn’t change the script much. The podium shook out as Verstappen first, Lewis Hamilton second, and Leclerc third. Not the fairy tale Mexico wanted, but certainly the form guide it expected.
