F1 returns to Mexico City for the 2025 Mexican Grand Prix this weekend as the title race heats up between McLaren's driver duo and Max Verstappen.

The four-time 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 now just 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, meaning only the standard 25 points are on offer for the winner of the race around the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.

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

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

F1 2025 Mexican Grand Prix weather forecast

Sunday, October 26 - Race

After a sunny affair out on track during Friday and Saturday's sessions, the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez is expected to have warmed up to around 26 degrees for lights out at 2pm local time (CST).

The real feel around the track in Mexico City will be 25 degrees and if you were hoping for late drama in the form of rain for this year's Mexican Grand Prix, then you look set to be disappointed.

Sunshine is forecast throughout the 71-lap race and there is a zero per cent chance of rain for lights out and the full grand prix distance, but a gentle breeze from the north will tickle the circuit.
