The Mexican Grand Prix is all set to make its mark on the current F1 season as we head into the business end of this campaign.
Lewis Hamilton is on the verge of a fifth world title after failing to win last time out in the United States, but only has to complete the formality this time around. Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Raikkonen and Max Verstappen will all be on hand to foil any plans of an early Championship party however, and how this pans out will be fun to watch.
