Formula 1 returns for the second instalment of its triple-header, as the teams and drivers touch down in Mexico for the Mexican Grand Prix.

The Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez will play host to this weekend's action as we bid farewell to last weekend's sprint format in favour of the more traditional set-up.

It therefore means that fans will be treated to two practice sessions on Friday, as teams look to gain as much knowledge and data ahead of Saturday's crucial qualifying session.

Here is all you need to know heading into Friday's action in Mexico City.
