F1 on TV: Mexican Grand Prix 2023 practice start time, schedule and TV

F1 practice continues at the Mexican Grand Prix for the final session ahead of qualifying later in the day.

Max Verstappen once again topped the timesheets on Friday finishing ahead of Lando Norris in FP2, but the McLaren driver was only just off the pace of the triple world champion in a confident start for the Woking outfit this weekend.

The session wasn't as kind for Lewis Hamilton who ended Friday down in seventh but the seven-time world champion will hope he can continue a trend of finding a sweet spot on his Mercedes early on Saturday and emerge to challenge for pole later in the day.

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