Mexican Grand Prix 2021: Preview

Red Bull's Max Verstappen is the favourite to win the Mexican Grand Prix 2021 after finishing first at the United States Grand Prix last month. With the win in Austin, Verstappen secured a 12 points lead in the standings over rival Lewis Hamilton. The last time Verstappen and Hamilton met at the Mexican Grand Prix was back in 2019, where the Mercedes driver finished first after Verstappen was stripped of pole position for ignoring the yellow flags. Hamilton denied Verstappen a hat-trick in Mexico in 2019. Apart from these two, local hero, Sergio Perez is also one of the favourites to win the 71-lap race in Mexico.
