F1 Mexican Grand Prix LIVE RESULT: Dominant Verstappen WINS to set record, Hamilton picks up second place – reaction

All eyes turn to Brazil

In a race Lewis Hamilton showed his absolute best last year, will that be the location of his first win of the season?

The Sun will be here to take you through every lap!

Drivers onto the podium

One last massive cheer for Sergio Perez, who finished P3 in his home race.

Perez: “I gave my best”

“Overtaking is so difficult here.

“It’s a good podium in front of this crowd.”

Hamilton: “So much love for Mexico”

“I was so close in that first stint, but the Red Bull was just too fast.

“I’m not sure it was the right tyre in the end.”

Verstappen: “The Start helped me a lot”

“An incredible result, the pace of the car was really nice.

“We are definitely enjoying it, and will try to go for more.”

Ricciardo driver of the day

A pulsating final few laps for Ricciardo sees him finish P7 despite the 10 second penalty.

He has also been named driver of the day.

Russell secures fastest lap

A final lap effort from Russell sees Mercedes take the fastest lap point for the second week in a row.

Another P2 for Hamilton

Perez follows Hamilton to make it a podium in his home race!

Russell pits for fastest lap

Can Mercedes grab an extra point with a fastest lap attempt?

Ricciardo flying

Despite the penalty, Ricciardo is on pace to finish P7!

A great effort from the honey badger!

No stops up top

No drivers at the front have pitted, despite Russell’s insistence of a stop.

Alonso is out!

VSC is deployed!

Alonso fading

Looks like there could be some damage for Alonso, and he is fading towards the places outside of the points.

Verstappen cruising to victory

It’s looking like another comfortable victory for the world champion, with the lead to Hamilton over 13seconds.

Ricciardo making big moves

With a 10second penalty on him for the collision with Tsunoda, he is now looking to overtake Ocon for 7th.

Really nice to see for the McLaren driver, who is currently without a seat for next year.

10 laps to go

With 10 laps to go, it looks as if there’s not much the Mercedes’ can do to catch their respective Red Bulls.

Perez approaching DRS range

It could be problem time for Hamilton…

Mercedes convinced of Red Bull drop off

The radio message to Hamilton suggest that they still believe they’re in the right tyres to catch their own Red Bull in front of them.

Tsunoda out the race

The collision has left Tsunoda unable to continue, and he is the first driver to retire today.

Colission between Tsunoda and Ricciardo

The McLaren was looking for the overtake and it seemed like he got the job done illegally, as Tsunoda goes off the track.

Race waiting to burst into life

With 20 laps to go, we’re still waiting for the big moments in this race.

Can Perez channel the energy of the home crowd and push Hamilton for P2?

Russell gaining on Perez

It looks as if Russell has adapted to these tyres better than Hamilton, and he’ll be encouraged that Perez is not exactly pushing his teammate for P2.

Bottas making moves

Both Ocon and Bottas overtake Zhou, who is yet to pit.

A nice exit sees the former Mercedes driver stay in touch with the Frenchman for P8.

Lovely overtake from Ocon

Every point is crucial in the midfield, and Ocon moves into the points with an overtake on Bottas.
