The Mexico City circuit is the highest track on the schedule by altitude – at around 7,500 feet above sea level – and drivers must adapt to the conditions quickly if they are to claim a spot on the podium.
Red Bull's Max Verstappen (five race wins) and Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton (two wins) are two of the most successful drivers in Mexico Grand Prix history but it was world title winner Lando Norris that stormed to victory last year.
Expect a raucous atmosphere, high speeds and plenty of drama on a race weekend sure to remind fans why they love the jewel of the motorsport crown.
