F1 Mexican GP: 5 memorable moments

#4 Mexican GP returns in 2015

Nico Rosberg won the race

The 2015 Mexican GP was memorable as it was the first time a race was being organized in the country since 1992. Drivers were excited to be returning to a place where racing has been prevalent since time immemorial, and it showed when the lights went out.

Nico Rosberg established himself as a front-runner after it became clear a race prior that his teammate Lewis Hamilton had clinched the World Championship in the United States. Rosberg showed his class in qualifying as well as in the final race on Sunday, winning the returning race in the process and grabbing some momentum towards the end of the campaign.

It was also a special day for Sergio Perez in his Force India as an entire nation united in support of the Mexican as he made his way up the field. Perez finished eighth in the end, behind his teammate Nico Hulkenberg, but was overwhelmed by the support he received from his home crowd.
