Max Verstappen wins the Mexico City Grand Prix for the third time beats British driver Lewis Hamilton as he finished second.

Red Bull's Max Verstappen celebrated a dominant win in the Mexico City Grand Prix on Sunday to surge 19 points clear of Lewis Hamilton in the Formula One championship with four races remaining. Seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton was second for Mercedes, holding off Red Bull's Sergio Perez who became the first Mexican to stand on his home podium at a jubilant Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.

Red Bull closed the gap to Mercedes in the constructors' standings to one point. "It's still a long way to go but it's, of course, looking good, but also it can turn around very quickly," said Verstappen, 24, of his big step forward in the championship battle.
