How to follow Mexico City Grand Prix on the BBC

The 71-lap Mexico City Grand Prix will be on BBC Radio 5 Live on Sunday

Fresh from racing in Austin, Texas, Formula 1 heads straight to Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez for the Mexico City Grand Prix from 25-27 October.

Charles Leclerc came out on top at the United States Grand Prix after he took the lead on the opening lap when Lando Norris and Max Verstappen ran wide at the first corner.

Norris was later penalised for passing rival Verstappen for third place off the track and ended his race in fourth place. Carlos Sainz made it a Ferrari one-two by finishing second.

What is the weather forecast in Mexico?

The early weather forecast suggests the second race in this triple-header will be run in dry conditions, with a moderate breeze accompanying Saturday and Sunday's track action.

Friday is looking like the best day thanks to clear skies and a slightly warmer temperature of 23 degrees.

How does the championship stand?

Max Verstappen won the sprint race in Austin on Saturday and finished the main race one place higher than Lando Norris, collecting three more points than the Briton on Sunday.

This means he now leads the McLaren driver by 57 points with five races remaining, which include another two sprint events in Brazil and Qatar.

Charles Leclerc in third is 22 points behind second-placed Norris, with 146 points still available.
