Mexico crowd has clear verdict: Norris booed, Verstappen cheered on

Lando Norris was booed by the Mexican crowd after Sunday's race again.

The British driver, who also took the lead in the drivers' standings thanks to his victory at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, was booed for the second time in two days.

Talking to former IndyCar driver James Hinchcliffe at the stadium section of the track, the Brit said he was not bothered by the incident.

He commented: "I keep my head down, I ignore all of this, keep to myself. It's working at the minute, so I'm happy."

On the other hand, Max Verstappen received a warm welcome in Mexico. The crowd cheered when it was the Dutchman's time to speak.

Verstappen finished third, after a late Virtual Safety Car prevented him from having a shot at overtaking Charles Leclerc during the final two laps.
