Formula 1 moves south from Austin into Mexico this week for the 2022 Mexican Grand Prix.
An exciting race at the Circuit of the Americas last weekend has left fans with some hope that there is still some great racing to watch at the tail end of an F1 season that has been dominated by one team and one driver.
Max Verstappen has been confirmed as a two-time drivers' champion, and his Red Bull team have now officially locked up the constructors' championship.
Verstappen’s teammate Sergio Perez will be doing his absolute best to win at his home race in Mexico. Perez will need to find a way past Verstappen, who is on a quest to become the first F1 driver to ever win 14 races in a season.
Sebastian Vettel gave his fans something to remember in Austin. His F1 career will draw to a close at the end of this season, but the 4-time champion proved he still possesses greatness with a masterful final lap at COTA to claim a hard-fought 8th position in the race.
Another multiple time world champion, Lewis Hamilton, nearly kept his record streak of seasons with at least one win alive last weekend, but ended up settling for 2nd after being overtaken by Verstappen in the closing laps of the race.
Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez is the highest circuit on the F1 calendar. At 2,200 meters above sea level, it sits nearly three times higher than the next highest circuit. This drastic elevation change could make for some interesting results in the race as the various teams’ aero packages based on the 2022 regulations are tested for the first time.
