Norris trying to overtake Verstappen in Mexico in 2024.
Unlike Hamilton, Verstappen actually managed to stay on track!
But it was still Verstappen that got a penalty, while Norris was allowed to stay ahead of Verstappen without getting a penalty.
🧐
Another example of the fact that it is much easier to upgrade the car when you have a driver like Max Verstappen who can make pretty much everything work

A lot of funny conclusions in this list
1. Bottas 0.275% faster than Perez
🚨 Perez is 0.141% faster in 2026, so Bottas really fell off huh
2. Russell 0.300% faster than Albon
🚨 using Latifi as the reference Albon is 0.195% faster than Russell, so great improvement Mr Saturday
3. Verstappen 0.275% faster than Albon
🚨 in their 26 races together Verstappen was 0.607% faster than Albon
4. Button 0.175% faster than Perez
🚨 3rd year Perez was only 0.018% slower than Button
5. Gasly 0.050% faster than Colapinto
🚨 in 2025-26 the gap is 0.357%
Again, why wasn't Lewis penalized here?
Especially when Leclerc got a 5s penalty in Mexico for doing the exact same thing (would have been a 10s penalty if Lewis himself kept it on track, like Max did in AD21)

2 very similar seasons, with the main difference being the dominance in qualy, 2020 was much stronger (the season in which the top 3 in the grid was always a combination of HAM VER BOT)
Also, gap to teammate
2020: 0.594% faster than Albon
2026: 0.134% faster than Hadjar
