When is the F1 Mexican Grand Prix and how can I watch it?

Formula 1 heads to Mexico City for this weekend’s Mexican Grand Prix, an event which could mark a championship coronation for the second successive year.

Lewis Hamilton stands on the verge of wrapping up his fifth drivers’ world title, a feat he will seal with a top-seven finish, even if chief title rival Sebastian Vettel wins.

Everything would point towards the Briton being crowned world champion for the second year in a row at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriquez – a circuit Ferrari is yet to win at since it returned to the F1 calendar in 2015.

Red Bull will be looking to follow up on its victory from last season by making it a three-way fight in what the Milton Keynes-based squad has targeted as its best chance of claiming another grand prix win at in the remaining three rounds of the campaign.
