Lando Norris was booed in Mexico as he took a commanding victory and moved into the F1 title lead, with the crowd’s reaction largely tied to a controversial team-order moment earlier in the season rather than his on-track performance in that race. The boos were reported as coming during post-race interviews and the podium, and later discussions pointed to a perception among some Mexican fans that McLaren benefited Norris in the Italy Monza incident where a pit stop or team decision affected Oscar Piastri’s position. Norris himself has publicly downplayed the anger, saying he doesn’t know why the boos happen and that fans are free to react, often joking that he finds the boos entertaining. The situation sparked broader conversations in F1 about fan culture, perceived favoritism, and how past strategic decisions can color a driver’s reception at subsequent events. If you’d like, I can pull up more detailed summaries from specific outlets or quotes from Norris and team principals.
