Red Bull's Verstappen dominates F1s Mexico City Grand Prix for season record 16th win

Max Verstappen split the Ferrari front row of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz at the start to snatch the lead of the Formula One Mexico City Grand Prix by the first corner, then drove off to his record 16th victory of the season.

Red Bull's three-time season champion collected his third consecutive win at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on Sunday and broke his own season victories record set last year.

Verstappen started from third and won from the same spot as he did in 2021.
