This weekend brings another late race, as Formula 1 continues its American leg but — thanks to Sunday’s clock change — the Mexico City Grand Prix starts at 8pm in Britain, setting up some perfect evening entertainment.
The championship fight is heating up every round, as the season comes to an end: Max Verstappen continues to narrow the gap to Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, but remains 40 points off the lead, so can’t afford to ease the pressure.
As ever, UK fans can watch live coverage of every moment from Friday’s practice sessions to Sunday’s 71-lap race.
This guide breaks down the full schedule, how to watch live, stream, and what to expect weather-wise during the grand prix weekend.
