What happened: Oscar Piastri overtook Arvid Lindblad into Turn 1 on Lap 12 of the Mexico City Grand Prix, securing seventh position. The McLaren driver dove down the inside under braking to complete the move cleanly.

Why it matters: The overtake set the running order for the lower points positions, with Piastri and Lindblad remaining seventh and eighth through the checkered flag. The duel followed a previous on-track run-in between the two when Piastri was held up by Lindblad at Monaco earlier in the season.

By the numbers: Piastri maintained seventh over the final 59 laps, finishing one spot ahead of Lindblad as Charles Leclerc claimed victory over Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton in the 71-lap grand prix.

What to watch: McLaren heads into the final stretch of the 2026 campaign looking to consolidate its standing in the championship.
