MEXICO

Red Bull's Sergio Perez is the only Mexican driver on the starting grid and could become the first to win his home race in the history of the world championship.

Lewis Hamilton (2016, 2019) and Verstappen (2017, 2018 and 2021) are the only active drivers to have won in Mexico. The race returned in 2015, when now-retired Nico Rosberg won for Mercedes, for the first time since 1992.

There was no race in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The race was won from pole position in 2015 and 2016. Hamilton, third on the grid in 2019, is the only driver to have won and not started on the front row since the race returned.

Sunday will be the 22nd time Mexico has held a championship grand prix.

The circuit is the highest of any on the calendar at 2,285m above sea level.

TITLE

Both titles have been won by Red Bull, with Verstappen taking the drivers' crown in Japan on Oct. 9 and the team winning the constructors' for the first time since 2013 in Austin last weekend.

RACE WINS

Red Bull have won 15 of 19 races, with five one-twos, and Ferrari the rest.

Red Bull have won eight races in a row and one more would equal their best run of nine in 2013.

Verstappen has won 13 and can break the record for most victories in a season he now shares with Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel.

Ferrari's Charles Leclerc has won three times,
