Watch Mexico City Grand Prix live streams as Max Verstappen seeks to pile more pressure on McLaren team-mates Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris at the top of the 2025 Formula 1 drivers' championship. The defending world champion is on the charge with just five races to go.
Verstappen was imperious in the Red Bull at last weekend's United States Grand Prix, winning the Sprint and then dominating race day to cut the gap to championship leader Piastri to 40 points. It's a lot, but the four-time world champion has won three of the past four races to reduce the deficit from closer to 100 during the Dutchman's midseason toils.
"For sure, the chance is there," said Verstappen post-race. "We just need to try and deliver these weekends until the end."
In finally overtaking Ferrari's Charles Leclerc into second place with five laps remaining, Norris put himself to within 14 points of McLaren teammate Piastri, who was only able to finish fifth behind Lewis Hamilton. In so doing the eight-time world champion equalled his best performance of the season in the other Ferrari.
McLaren's struggles in recent weeks, particularly championship leader Piastri who has gone three grands prix without a podium, will be a worry and the team will be determined to reestablish some authority in Mexico. But has the momentum definitively swung back to Verstappen's Red Bull? And will McLaren's determination not to deploy team order to ensure the drivers' championship ultimately backfire?
To begin race weekend, there will be two practice sessions on Friday at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City, Mexico. Here’s how to watch the Mexico City Grand Prix online from anywhere and potentially for FREE.
