Hamilton finished the Mexican Grand Prix in second place, nearly 14 seconds behind Verstappen. He clinched the fastest lap accolade, and there were no post-race issues in the parc ferme.
With only three races remaining in the 2023 season, Hamilton is closing in on his second consecutive winless year. This contrasts with his previous 15 years in Formula 1, during which he secured at least one victory each season. His last win occurred at the penultimate round of the 2021 season in Saudi Arabia, just seven days before he was dethroned by Verstappen in a highly controversial Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
