Last week, a hard blow hit Lewis Hamilton. After finishing second in the United States Grand Prix, both he and Charles Leclerc were disqualified after the track stewards' investigation, which found irregularities in their car. With his second place in the United States, the seven-time world champion found calm and a worthy result to celebrate.
"I feel fresh, it's been a race where we didn't have to push too hard, but it's a good result considering we started sixth, I'm very proud of the team," highlighted the British driver after the race at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.

It was on lap 40 that Hamilton achieved second place after overtaking Charles Leclerc after the main straight. The Mercedes driver gave a great display on the wheel and made his yellow tires last to avoid a disaster and achieve another podium in our country, finishing second for the third consecutive year.
"I also thought those mediums wouldn't last, but I tried to drive like you, Jenson," he told Button, as a sign of respect. Every time he appeared on the celebration and the podium, the fans went crazy and cheered for him. A great change for him, who a year earlier was the target of boos from the stands. Lewis recognized the love he received and emphasizes that races here are always special.
"These people are incredible, thanks to all the fans. Mexico has always provided us with great races. I love coming to this city, the people are wonderful and the food is fantastic. We've had a tough few weeks, last time we lost a good final result, but this time everything went well," concluded the British driver, who now has 220 points, 20 behind Checo Pérez in the battle for the runner-up.
