Red Bull suffer MAJOR setback as F1 champions PUNISHED by FIA

Red Bull have suffered a major setback after the Mexican Grand Prix.

During the race in Mexico City, the team were hit with multiple FIA punishments, ultimately ruining their race as Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez came home in P6 and P17 respectively.

Following what appeared to have been one of Red Bull's worst weekends in recent memory, the team were duly overtaken in the constructors standings, with Ferrari usurping them.

It was another strong weekend for the Scuderia, with Carlos Sainz winning the race and Charles Leclerc grabbing a podium to gain precious points in the constructors' championship.

McLaren remain top of the pile for now. However, Ferrari trail by just 29 points.

In the drivers' championship, Verstappen maintains his lead at the top of the standings despite having not won a grand prix since June.

Norris did cut ten points out of the Dutchman's lead in Mexico, though, offering the Brit fresh hope of chasing down the three-time champion in the remaining four rounds of the season.
