Kimi Raikkonen picked up his sixth podium finish of the season as he finished third – the most rostrum finishes he’s taken for Ferrari since 2008.

As with Verstappen, it was the Finn’s first podium in Mexico, taking his tally of tracks where he’s finished on the podium to 29 – the most of any current driver and the joint most in history (with Alain Prost). The only tracks Kimi has raced at and not scored a top-three finish in his career are Azerbaijan's Baku City Circuit and India’s Buddh International Circuit. For reference, Hamilton has scored podiums at 27 of 29, Vettel 25 of 29 and Alonso 26 of 31.

As for Raikkonen’s team mate, after the high of scoring his 50th career pole position on Saturday (and Ferrari’s first in Mexico since Clay Regazzoni in 1970!), Sebastian Vettel was brought down to earth as he finished fourth – the fourth time in five races he’s missed the rostrum.

The German - for whom Mexico is the only track on the current calendar where he hasn’t finished on the podium - did, however, pick up fastest lap for the fifth time this year and third time in four races.

‘Oconsistency’ remained the buzz word at Force India as Esteban Ocon equalled his best-ever finish of fifth and kept up his record of having scored points in all but one race this year. The Frenchman also extended his record of consecutive finishes to 27 - the most for any driver from the start of a career.
