F1 | Verstappen extends championship lead after jumping both Mercedes at the start to win in Mexico
Red Bull’s Max Verstappen cruised to a record third career Mexico City Grand Prix victory ahead of Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton and Red Bull team mate Sergio Perez – who became the first Mexican driver to take a Formula 1 podium at their home race.
The joy of Valtteri Bottas’s shock pole position was short-lived as Verstappen swept around the outside of the two Mercedes into the first corner on the opening lap. Bottas was then tipped into a spin by McLaren’s Daniel Ricciardo into Turn 2 to leave Verstappen leading Hamilton then Perez behind the Safety Car, which was called back for a Lap 5 race restart, as Bottas dropped to the back of the field. --read more--

F1 | QUALIFYING: Mercedes shock Red Bull as Bottas takes pole ahead of Hamilton in Mexico
Valtteri Bottas soaked up the pressure and ripped up the formbook to take a sensational pole position for the Mexico City Grand Prix, as his Mercedes team upset the odds and outpaced favourites Red Bull.
The Finn was positioned on track to give championship contender and team mate Lewis Hamilton a tow on both runs in qualifying, but it was the Alfa Romeo-bound driver who was the fastest Silver Arrows car on Saturday. --read more--

Tire Allocations
F1 | What tyres will the teams and drivers have for the 2021 Mexico City Grand Prix?
Pirelli's Mexico City GP Preview. Min starting pressures: 19.5 psi (front) | 19.5 psi (rear); EOS camber limit: -3.50° (front) | -2.00 ° (rear)
Mexico is back on the calendar for the first time since 2019 so it's time to talk Pirelli tyres as the title battle heats up between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen.
After Verstappen's brilliant United States GP win, he's 12 points ahead of rival Hamilton heading into Mexico City, where his Red Bull team mate Sergio Perez races in front of his adoring home fans.
Pirelli have nominated the same tyres as they did for the race in Texas with hard C2s (x2), medium C3s (x3) and soft C4s (x8). This is the same selection as 2019 and one step harder than it was in 2018. --read more--
