F1 2024 Mexican Grand Prix weather forecast - latest today from Mexico City

The eyes of the world will be on Mexico City this weekend as Formula 1 returns to Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez for the 2024 Mexican Grand Prix.

With just five races left in the current season, the battle for the championship is even tighter, with Ferrari joining the party just eight points behind Red Bull in the constructors' standings following their glorious one-two at COTA.

F1 RESULTS: Verstappen handed major BLOW as rivals collide at Mexican GP

Max Verstappen managed to extend his lead in the drivers' championship, and is now 57 points ahead of the McLaren of Lando Norris, following intervention from the FIA that led to a dramatic conclusion at the US GP.

Verstappen's team-mate, on the other hand, only managed a P7 finish, with Sergio Perez's potential replacement Liam Lawson just two places behind him, despite starting from 19th.

With his career on the line, Perez will be hoping to get off to a better start at his home race this year than he did in 2023, where the disastrous outing saw him crash out at the first corner.

But how will the weather play out for this weekend's F1 action?
