57 points now separate him from Lando Norris, who received a controversial penalty at the US GP which ensured he finished behind his rival in P4.

Ferrari have also edged nearer to Red Bull in the constructors' standings following their one-two finish, and are just now eight points behind the champions.

It was Verstappen who won in Mexico last time out in 2023, and if he achieves another victory this year it could prove pivotal in determining the direction of the drivers' championship.

However, will Ferrari remain the strongest team this weekend? Or will McLaren surge back to the front in a crucial weekend for Norris?
