F1 Drivers' Standings 2023 after the Mexican Grand Prix

Daniel Ricciardo's impressive weekend at the Mexican Grand Prix has lifted AlphaTauri off of the bottom of the championship to eighth after the Australian finished P7.

Ricciardo made good use of starting on the second row alongside his former team-mate and race winner Max Verstappen.

The Aussie driver survived two standing starts and even came close to overtaking Mercedes' George Russell at the chequered flag.

Although AlphaTauri are now on level points with Alfa Romeo, Ricciardo's P7 finish means the Italian team will lead their Swiss counterparts.

Red Bull driver Sergio Perez's Turn 1 crash cost him dearly, as his Mercedes star Lewis Hamilton closed the gap to the Mexican to just 20 points with three races to go.

Ferrari's Carlos Sainz is now on level points with his fellow countryman Fernando Alonso but leads the veteran due to his race win at the Singapore Grand Prix.
