The Formula 1 Circus stops in Mexico City for one of the most spectacular events of the season. Between the enthusiastic crowd and the packed grandstands of the famous Foro Sol, the 2025 Mexican Grand Prix provided us with thrilling emotions and unpredictable strategies. As with every race weekend that comes to a close, the one in Mexico leaves us with the same question: who will go up and who will go down to the F1 Fantasy?
Who's going up?
Oliver Bearman +1
Started from 9th position On the grid, Bearman managed to make the most of the start of the race, gaining several positions in the first laps thanks to a good start and a favourable situation in front of him.
For much of the race Bearman remained in fourth position, with a very mature performance: he managed to hold his own against top riders, defending himself with lucidity and taking advantage of the team's strategy.
It concludes at fourth, his best career result to date, as well as the best placing ever achieved by his team Haas F1 Team this season.

Franco Colapinto +1
For Franco Colapinto, the Mexico City Grand Prix was a complicated but formative one. The Argentine driver finished the race in sixteenth position, after starting from the back of the grid. Despite the car's difficulties and the dangers of the altitude, Colapinto completed the race without errors, collecting valuable data for the team.

Gabriel Bortoleto +1
Gabriel Bortoleto took his Sauber F1 Team car to the 10ª position, earning a precious point on a weekend that seemed impossible. Despite starting from a lower position, he was able to manage the race with clarity and pulled off a key overtake on Isack Hadjar with less than ten laps to go, consolidating his tenth place.

Who's getting off?
Yuki Tsunoda -1
Yuki Tsunoda finished the race in eleventh position, immediately outside the points zone, in a weekend that had shown positive signs but ended with some frustration for the Japanese driver. Starting from a good grid position and with a good start, Tsunoda demonstrated solid pace in the early stints, staying close to the leading group. However, the team's strategy and a slow pit stop penalized him, forcing him out in traffic and preventing him from fully exploiting his car's potential.

Liam Lawson -1
Liam Lawson had a disappointing weekend in Mexico City: having qualified fifteenth, he was involved in a first-lap collision with Carlos Sainz that damaged his car's front wing, forcing him to pit on lap two. Upon returning, he was in danger again when two marshals invaded the track. It was a race to forget for the New Zealander, by any measure.
NEW VALUE: 10 YAW
Carlos Sainz -1
Even for Carlos Sainz, the Mexican Grand Prix was a weekend to forget: starting from seventh position On the grid, he was forced to retire after his car stalled in the stadium arena with just a few laps remaining. The retirement came just when the points were still theoretically within reach, making the outcome even more bitter. For the Spanish driver, who had previously shown form and potential during challenging weekends, this early exit represents a huge blow—especially ahead of the final races of the season, where every point counts.
