Max Verstappen: Wins Mexico City GP

Verstappen cruised to a record third career Mexico City Grand Prix victory ahead of Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton and Red Bull team mate Sergio Perez - who became the first Mexican driver to take a Formula 1 podium at their home race, Formula1.com reports.

Analysis:

Verstappen ambushed both Mercedes drivers in the first corner of the opening lap and that would be the big difference. The Red Bull Racing star could then dictate the flow of the race and pit strategy. Verstappen would stretch out a big lead and cruise to a 16-second victory over Hamilton. It was his second-straight win and ninth victory of the season.
