F1 2025 Mexican Grand Prix weather forecast - latest from Mexico City

F1 returns to Mexico City for the 2025 Mexican Grand Prix as the title race heats up between McLaren and Max Verstappen.

The four-time world champion claimed his fifth win of the season at COTA on Sunday, dominating the weekend in the sprint, qualifying and the main race.

As a result, Verstappen is 40 points behind championship leader Oscar Piastri heading into Mexico, with Lando Norris slicing the gap to his team-mate to just 14 points.

Business as usual resumes at the Mexican GP, with no sprint and the standard 25 points on offer for the winner of the race around the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.

A McLaren driver hasn't won a grand prix since Piastri at the Dutch GP in August, and with five rounds remaining, the title race is well and truly alive.

However, will the weather come into play this weekend? Or will it be smooth sailing for Red Bull and Verstappen once again?
