The Mexican Grand prix race will happen today with Carlos sainz, Max Verstappen and Lando Norris starting from the front rows. Red Bull and McLaren are fighting for the constructors title, while Verstappen and Norris are battling for the World championship.

The 2024 Mexican circuit is very challenging for Formula 1 drivers as it is located at the highest altitude which causes downforce problems in cars. Max Verstappen is the only driver to win 5 Grand Prix races at the circuit more than any other F1 driver.
