Is this why Lando Norris was booed by F1 fans at the Mexico City Grand Prix?
Mexican journalist Carlos Jalife proposed a theory as to why Lando Norris was booed by the crowd after his dominant victory at the 2025 Mexico City Grand Prix.
Norris’s win pushed him to the top of the F1 drivers’ championship, just one point ahead of Oscar Piastri with four rounds remaining.
Despite his success, the local fans expressed their disapproval by booing Norris on the podium.
During the post-race FIA press conference, Norris addressed the boos, stating that people have the right to express themselves and that he finds it somewhat entertaining.
Jalife linked the boos to a previous incident at the Italian Grand Prix where Norris was given back a position, suggesting that fans may feel he is being handed the championship unfairly.
Norris defended his actions, emphasizing that his team strives for fairness and that similar situations have occurred in the past, such as letting Piastri win in Budapest two years ago.
