In doing so, the Mexican regained second position from Charles Leclerc in the championship. Max Verstappen, who sealed the drivers' championship at the Japanese GP, further extended his lead, taking his 14th win of the year in Mexico. In doing so, he broke the record for most wins in a year that was set by Michael Schumacher and matched by Sebastian Vettel. Both Mercedes drivers finished in the top four with a and P4 finish for Lewis Hamilton and George Russell respectively. The seven-time world champion gained a position over Carlos Sainz in the drivers' standings.

Ferrari feel they optimised the resuls at 2022 F1 Mexican GP

Both Ferrari drivers missed out on the podium this weekend at the Mexican GP with a visible lack of pace as compared to the likes of Mercedes and Red Bull. The two drivers, however, insisted that they performed to the maximum level they could. Speaking to Sky Sports F1 in a post-race interaction at the , Leclerc admitted that there is a possibility of a similar difference in pace to Red Bull in the future. He said: “A tricky one. Unfortunately, I wish I could say for sure [that it is a one off] but the thing that hurts is that I felt like we’ve maximised absolutely everything today and even though we’ve done that, we are one minute away from Max, which is a huge difference. So we need to look into that and make our bad days better because whenever we have a bad day, especially on the Sunday, it seems to be a really bad day. Today I felt like [there were] a bit of explanations [to their performance]. It’s a bit of a one-off here, different conditions so I hope we can come back to our performance in Brazil.” His teammate Carlos Sainz was just happy to have had a smooth race, even if it meant lacking in pace to Red Bull and Mercedes after all the bad luck he has had recently. He said: “For once I am fast [and] we are one minute off. At least, I haven’t had a race in a month, so to actually get back into it and do a good race with pace management. I’ll take it as a positive and make sure that we are back on the pace in Brazil and Abu Dhabi.” 40 points separate Ferrari from Mercedes in the F1 constructors' standings with two races to go this season.
