Formula 1 roars into Mexico City for the 2025 Mexican Grand Prix, following a thrilling weekend at the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, that has completely reshaped the title race. With tensions running high and the championship battle intensifying, fans are gearing up for another action-packed weekend at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodríguez.
Max Verstappen’s comeback rekindles the title race
Max Verstappen’s dominance in Austin has reignited Red Bull’s campaign for the 2025 Drivers’ Championship. The four-time world champion displayed a masterclass in control and pace, securing victory from pole position and cutting his deficit to leader Oscar Piastri to just 40 points. Having now claimed three wins in the last four Grands Prix, including the Sprint in Austin, Verstappen has firmly placed himself back in contention for a record-equaling fifth world title.
Before Austin, many believed the battle would remain between Piastri and his McLaren teammate Lando Norris. However, Verstappen’s resurgence has disrupted that narrative, shifting momentum toward Red Bull as the calendar turns to Mexico — a circuit where Verstappen has traditionally dominated. The Dutch driver has a record five wins in Mexico, making him the undisputed favorite heading into the weekend.
