2022 F1 Mexico Grand Prix session timings and preview

Mercedes and Red Bull Racing are the only two teams to have won at Autodromo Hermanos Rodríguez since the circuit's return to the F1 calendar in 2015.

It will be a special race for Red Bull's Sergio Perez, who has a strong chance of winning his home event after finishing third to teammate Max Verstappen and Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton last year.

Red Bull is yet to be beaten in the second half of the 2022 season, having scored eight wins on trot since the French GP just prior to the summer break in July.
