Who Won the Mexican F1 Grand Prix? Let me tell ya!
Well, I ain’t no fancy race expert, ya know? But I heard from my grandson, that young fella always glued to his phone, that this fella Max Verstappen, yeah, that’s the name, he won the Mexican Grand Prix. Sixteenth win, they say! Sixteen times! That’s a whole lotta winnin’, ain’t it? More than anybody else ever, so they tell me.

Now, this Mexican race, it wasn’t no easy peasy thing, no sir. My grandson was yellin’ at the phone, somethin’ about that other fella, Lewis Hamilton, comin’ in second. Said it was a real nail-biter, that’s what he called it. Nail-biter, I guess that means it was close.
- Max Verstappen: The Winner! That boy’s fast, like a greased pig at the county fair.
- Lewis Hamilton: Second place. He tried real hard, I betcha.
- Sergio Perez: Oh, that poor fella! Crashed out, they said. First turn, too. That’s gotta sting. My grandson said he’s from around there, Mexico way. Real shame for the home crowd, I reckon.
This Verstappen fella, he started from the pole position, whatever that means. Sounds important though. Means he was the fastest in that qualifying thing they do. But then, somethin’ happened, some kinda kerfuffle with another driver, Norris I think the name was. My grandson said something about a penalty, a real messy situation.
Then there was talk about another race, maybe last year, maybe not, hard to keep track of these things. Said a fella named Carlos Sainz won that one. See, these fellas, they race all the time, all over the world. Mexico one week, then who knows where. They go so fast! Like them speed demons we used to see at the dirt track back in the day, only these cars are fancier, and they don’t kick up as much dust.
I tell ya, these cars, they ain’t nothin’ like the old pickup truck I used to drive. They’re low to the ground, sleek, and they make this roar like a… well, like a real angry lion, I guess. And the drivers, they wear these fancy suits, helmets, all the gear. Safety first, that’s what they say. Smart, I suppose, goin’ that fast and all.
So, who won the Mexican F1 Grand Prix this time? Max Verstappen. Remember that name. He’s the one winnin’ all the races these days. My grandson says he’s gonna be a legend, like them fellas they talk about on the TV, the ones from way back when.
Now, they talk about fastest laps too. Each practice and during the race I heard them fellas say. I guess that means how fast they go around the track one time. Verstappen was fast there too, seems like he’s fast everywhere.

This whole racin’ thing, it’s kinda confusin’ to an old lady like me. All the rules and the strategies, the tire changes and the pit stops, it’s a lot to take in. But I see the excitement on my grandson’s face, and I hear the roar of the crowd on the TV, and I know it’s somethin’ special. It’s somethin’ that gets folks riled up, gets ’em cheerin’ and yellin’.
And that Verstappen fella, he’s the one they’re all cheerin’ for right now. He’s the king of the road, the fastest of the fast. He won the Mexican Grand Prix, and who knows how many more he’ll win before he’s done. He’s a real winner, that’s for sure.
So, there ya have it. The Mexican Grand Prix, won by Max Verstappen. Don’t go forgettin’ now! And if you see my grandson, tell him his old grandma knows a thing or two about racin’ now, even if I ain’t never sat in one of them fancy cars myself. I may be old, but I ain’t deaf and blind.
Key takeaway: Max Verstappen won the 2023 Mexican Grand Prix. It was his sixteenth win of the season.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. All this talk about fast cars and racin’ has made me hungry.
