P1racenews AI automatic summary:
It was a typical start in Mexico with the safety car deployed before the end of the first lap.
Yuki Tsunoda was involved in his second crash in 24 hours on a Mexico City Grand Prix weekend, making it a forgettable event for the Japanese driver. Initially crashing out in qualifying due to his own mistake, Tsunoda started in the middle of the grid. During the race, Tsunoda attempted a move on Alex Albon but collided with him twice, eventually spinning into a wall and retiring. This incident also led to the retirement of Albon, leaving 18 cars in the race and necessitating the safety car’s introduction for the first time in nine years. Meanwhile, Max Verstappen overtook polesitter Carlos Sainz to lead the race, followed by Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc. After six laps behind the safety car, the 71-lap race resumed.
