The Formula One season rolls on with the Mexico Grand Prix this evening.
Reigning world champion Max Verstappen added to his healthy lead in the latest battle for the F1 crown by ensuring he finished on the podium at the United States Grand Prix last time out, while title rival Lando Norris was fourth in Austin after McLaren failed in their appeal against his five-second time penalty that pushed him down from third.
It means the Red Bull driver is edging closer to a fourth consecutive world title ahead of Sunday’s race in Mexico City, where Verstappen qualified second ahead of Norris but behind the Ferrari of Carlos Sainz.
Here’s everything you need to know about Sunday’s race, with only five more left to go this year.
