Lando Norris said putting rivals in 'awkward' positions was key to pulling off the spate of overtaking moves that helped him charge to fifth in Formula 1's Mexico Grand Prix.
The McLaren driver had endured a dismal qualifying in Mexico City after making a mistake on his only run in Q1 and failing to make it through, ending up 17th on the grid. But after trying an alternative strategy early on in the grand prix with the softs, he made good progress to get up to 10th before the mid-race red flag that helped reset any tyre offset against rivals.

'We must have been very, very close. I braked earlier than I think he thought I would. So, then he braked and I just got off the brake and got him on the outside.
