F1 travels straight from Austin’s Circuit of The Americas to Mexico City’s Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez for Round 20 of the 2022 World Championship, a venue that has been kind to Max Verstappen in recent years.

While Verstappen nailed his getaway, there was plenty of drama behind as McLaren driver Daniel Ricciardo tipped Bottas into a spin at the first corner, where Esteban Ocon, Yuki Tsunoda and Mick Schumacher also clashed dramatically.
