The second half of a double-header rounds off Formula One’s time in North America this season with today’s Mexico City Grand Prix.
It may have been a familiar result in Austin last weekend but there was plenty of entertainment to be had as Max Verstappen claimed his 13th victory of 2022, wrapping up Red Bull’s Constructors’ Championship in the process.
Lewis Hamilton’s second-place finish and a decent showing from Ferrari, including Carlos Sainz snatching pole position before being booted off by George Russell on the first lap, should mean plenty of competition at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
However, Verstappen has won three of the last four in the Mexican altitude and will be favourite to do so again.
