Who are the favourites for the Mexico City Grand Prix?

Max Verstappen enters the Mexico City Grand Prix as the clear favorite, boasting three wins in his last five races and a strong history at the circuit, though front-row starts have largely eluded him there. McLaren's Lando Norris is also in excellent form, with a recent runner-up finish in the US and four pole positions this season. Conversely, Oscar Piastri has experienced a recent dip, missing the podium in his last three races. Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton showed improved pace in the US; Leclerc has two consecutive Mexico podiums, and Hamilton claims two past wins here. Mercedes' George Russell, despite two wins this year, faces a challenging Mexico record where his team hasn't won since 2019. The "Big Four" teams are expected to maintain their dominance.
