Red Bull’s Max Verstappen broke the record for wins in a season with a comfortable and controlled victory in the Mexico City Grand Prix.
The world champion held off a challenge from Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes in the first part of the race before moving clear to take his 14th win of the year.
Red Bull’s Sergio Perez took third ahead of Mercedes’ George Russell.
Mercedes had hopes of winning the race after qualifying close behind Verstappen in second and third places.
But, on divergent tyre strategies, early promise faded after the pit stops and Verstappen moved into a race of his own, leaving Hamilton to fend off Perez for the runners-up spot.
