Following Ferrari’s thrilling double podium in Austin, Formula 1 heads to Mexico City, where Charles Leclerc is determined to follow up his Texas victory with another win, marking his fourth of the season. Such a result would not only highlight his impressive form but also set a new personal record for wins in a single season. Lining up alongside him, Lando Norris is eager to return to the spotlight after a lackluster performance in the U.S., ready to challenge Leclerc both for the win and pole position.
All eyes, however, are on Max Verstappen, the reigning champion who has dominated the Mexican Grand Prix for the past three years. The Dutch driver, undefeated on the Mexico City circuit in recent editions, aims for a historic fourth consecutive victory on this Central American track. Verstappen is prepared to defend his lead and reinforce Red Bull's dominance on a track that plays perfectly to his car's strengths.
In addition to Leclerc, Ferrari will field Carlos Sainz, eager to bounce back, while McLaren looks to Oscar Piastri, who’s been showing strong progress and is determined to join the fight at the top. A bit further back, Mercedes will rely on Lewis Hamilton and George Russell, both of whom are ready to surprise and upend predictions on a track known for delivering unexpected outcomes.
The Mexican Grand Prix, with its unique altitude challenges and the energy of a passionate crowd, promises an intense and spectacular race. The battle is on between Ferrari, Red Bull, and McLaren, as we wait to see who will best navigate the twists and turns of Mexico City and claim the top step of the podium.
