The twentieth round of the world championship, still dominated by Max Verstappen, takes place this Sunday in Mexico.
Formula 1 remains on the American continent. After the United States Grand Prix, won masterfully by Charles Leclerc last weekend, the drivers will meet in Mexico for the twentieth round of the world championship. With five races remaining before the end of the 2024 season, there are still many issues at stake, starting with the awarding of the drivers’ and constructors’ titles.
With 57 points ahead of Lando Norris, Max Verstappen, ranked third just ahead of his rival in Austin after a hell of a battle in the final laps, has a significant but not definitive margin. A retirement from the Dutchman coupled with a victory for the Briton on Sunday in Mexico could restart everything. The fight is just as uncertain among the engine manufacturers. This time it is McLaren which is ahead of Red Bull, by 40 points, which remains very fragile. And Ferrari, back to 48 points from first place after its double in Texas, can even hope to beat everyone at the post.
To find out who will draw the chestnuts from the fire on the Rodriguez brothers’ circuit, you will have to, as usual, tune in to Canal+ or connect to the F1.com app, but that’s not all. The Mexican Grand Prix will also be broadcast unencrypted at 9 p.m. on the C8 channel, accessible via TNT. It is at this time, quite unusual for Formula 1 fans, that the twenty cars will start the race.
