Mexican Grand Prix: preview

The drivers' title is too tall a task for Charles Leclerc at this late stage, but after Ferrari's sensational one-two last weekend, we wouldn't rule out a last-gasp grab for the constructors' championship. Ahead of the Mexican Grand Prix the Scuderia are just eight points off Red Bull, and even at his home race Sergio Perez isn't inspiring much confidence.

Checo will be desperate to make his mark at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, not only because he's a god here, but because he crashed out on the opening lap a year ago, and might not get another chance to race here. He's had an abysmal season, and Liam Lawson's scintillating return has only cranked the heat up higher.

With a 40-point lead over Red Bull, the constructors' title is McLaren's to lose, but it may feel like a hollow victory if Lando Norris isn't able to use his pace advantage to push Max Verstappen all the way.

The Brit squandered yet another pole position in Austin last weekend, and while he was harshly denied a late overtake on his title rival, who ran him off the road, he shouldn't have found himself in that position in the first place.

Verstappen's lead now stands at 57 points, with five GPs and two Sprints to go. Here's all the info on where to watch free F1 live streams anywhere in the world for the Mexican Grand Prix.

What are the best TV settings for F1?

Avoid your TV's 'Sport' and choose 'Filmmaker' or 'Cinema' mode. Why? Because less processing is better when it comes to F1 (as it is with most content), and the Filmmaker Mode is almost always the least-processed mode that a TV has. You can then use that as a base level for making further tweaks. If your TV doesn’t have a Filmmaker Mode, look for a mode labelled ‘Cinema’, ‘Movie’ or, in the case of Sony, ‘Custom’.
