Worth Watching Score

6.0

If you’re short on time, the 2024 Mexico City Grand Prix was a low-drama watch despite a healthy 77 overtakes. Carlos Sainz controlled the race up front, with Lando Norris chasing but never truly threatening, and Charles Leclerc rounding out a comfortable Ferrari 1-3. A lone safety car and three DNFs briefly shook the order, but strategy was straightforward and the lead battle never really ignited. Most of the action lived in the midfield slipstream fights, making this one more of a highlights package than a must-see full race.
