Lando Norris back in title contention as Sainz wins F1 Mexican Grand Prix after 20-SECOND Max Verstappen penalty

LANDO NORRIS boosted his world title hopes as Max Verstappen was handed TWO 10-second penalties.

Carlos Sainz made it two wins in a row for Ferrari with a brilliant victory from pole, ahead of Norris.

Yuki Tsunoda and Alex Albon crashed out on the first lap, with Fernando Alonso also retiring early.

Red Bull’s world champ Max Verstappen then suffered his penalties – the latter one for going off the track and taking an advantage over Norris.

On the Brit’s team radio came the message: “I was ahead the whole way through the corner, this guy is dangerous.

“I just have to avoid a crash, I will end up in the wall in a minute.”

Meanwhile, Carlos Sainz led from pole with Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc four seconds behind.

And after 30 the 71 laps we had this top five: Sainz, Leclerc, Lando (Mclaren), George Russell (Mercedes), Kevin Magnussen (Haas).

Norris tried to pile on the pressure.

And Leclerc somehow averted crashing into the barrier with a brilliant recovery as he took third ahead of Lewis Hamilton, whose Mercedes team-mate George Russell was fifth, a place above Verstapen.

Four ways to make the most of darker evenings by staying in and sorting your finances

AS the cold, dark nights draw in, why not cosy up in front of the fire and give your finances the once-over?

Managing your subscriptions and looking at ways to cut back can be helpful in the lead-up to Christmas.

Here’s how you can use the colder weather and darker evenings to stay in and sort your finances[/caption]

Here are some tips for boosting your bank balance.

SORT YOUR SPENDING: Audit your outgoings and put a reminder in your calendar to do this once a month.

These check-ins will help you identify areas where you can cut back and save more effectively.

Try the free Snoop app, which connects to your bank accounts, tracks your spending and sends handy alerts about what’s in your account, plus upcoming bills, so you can make sure you stay on the right path.

GO ON TRIAL: Free trials from streaming platforms, fitness apps or meal kits are a great way to save on costs.

But mark up calendar reminders a few days before any trial ends so you don’t get hit with surprise charges.

Check if you can cancel, pause or switch any services to save cash. Film buffs can currently get a 14-day free trial for the BFI Player.

Amazon Prime is offering a 30-day free trial for new customers and you can trial Spotify Premium for two months before committing.

BUST YOUR BILLS: Go through your bills and pop renewal dates for things like insurances and software licences in your diary. Many will auto renew, which can lead to surprise charges if you’ve forgotten about them.

Always read the fine print on any subscription to avoid being caught out. By setting reminders a week or two in advance, you have time to decide if you still need the service.

PLAN PRESENTS: It helps to spread the cost of gifts across the year rather than splurging last-minute. So set birthday calendar reminders for the next year — now!

Also, programme an alert for six months before special occasions so you can start setting aside cash for gifts or even pick up pressies in the sales.

If you like sending e-cards, save your birthday dates at moonpig.com and they will send you email reminders a few weeks prior.
