Lando Norris shares a surprising reaction to being booed by the fans during the F1 Mexican GP

Lando Norris was incessantly booed during the Mexican GP weekend, and this soon became the question of the hour that was posed to the Briton after the race. But, instead of the usual reaction that many might predict to booing, the 25-year-old had a surprising reaction to such acts by fans while conveying that such conduct doesn't affect him.

Norris was the clear pace-setter during the Mexican GP race weekend. Since getting inside the cockpit of the McLaren MCL39 in FP2, he showcased stellar pace and stormed to pole position during qualifying to have the best starting position on raceday.

Subsequently, during the raceday, he survived the run down to turn one and never looked back since as he went on to lead all 71 laps of the race. But, this impressive performance was seemingly tainted by fans' booing him when he got out of his car and even during the post-race interviews.

But such booing doesn't seem to be getting to Norris, as it just acts as entertainment for the championship leader, as he revealed in the post-race press conference:

"I don't know why, to be honest. People can do what they want, honestly. They have the right to do it if they want to do it. So I think that's sport sometimes. I don't know why I can't stop laughing when I get booed. I think it makes it more entertaining for me. So, yeah, they can keep doing it if they want." "Of course, you don't want it. I prefer if people cheer for me. But I don't know. Who knows? Like I said, I just concentrate on doing my things. It was the same in, what, Monza and a few other places. So, yeah. I don't know why. I just can't stop laughing. So, if they want to continue they can."

Lando Norris' win at the Mexican GP helped him regain the championship lead after an exile of 15 race weekends from the top of the standings.

Lando Norris has a one-point lead over Oscar Piastri heading into the last four race weekends of the 2025 season. Furthermore, he has a 36-point advantage over Max Verstappen and is arguably in the best position to fight for the title, as momentum is on his side currently.

So, Norris is not looking to change his approach to the race weekends, as he said (via F1's official website):

"The focus doesn’t change now, I’ll just keep pushing to deliver results like this and keep doing my best every weekend."

On the other hand, there are still 116 points up for grabs and the drivers' championship could entice up further in the following four weekends.
