Mexico City is the next stop for the Formula 1 circus, the middle part of a triple-header that started in Austin and will conclude in Sao Paulo. But what kind of weather conditions will the drivers and teams be contending with this weekend?
Last year the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez dished up a warm and sunny race, with Lando Norris charging to victory on his way to his maiden Drivers’ title. He beat Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen as his team mate suffered a further blow to his championship hopes, Oscar Piastri finishing just fifth.
Norris might be hard pushed to repeat that victory, with McLaren struggling last weekend in Austin. Instead it will be all eyes on Kimi Antonelli, who could seal the title himself this weekend, with George Russell and Lewis Hamilton the two tasked with stopping the Italian.
