A fascinating Mexico Grand Prix will start this afternoon (Sunday, October 26) as the championship race approaches its final stages.

This weekend's race in Mexico City will be the 20th of the year, and marks a full year of racing since a Ferrari driver last stood on the top step of the podium.

It was at this track where ex-Ferrari star Carlos Sainz claimed the grand prix victory this time last year, but the Scuderia have failed to pick up any further full-length race wins since, with a podium continuing to evade Lewis Hamilton since his move from Mercedes.

But things might just take a positive turn for Ferrari this weekend after Leclerc qualified P2 and Hamilton P3, with the seven-time champion even describing his position on the second row as 'the perfect spot' ahead of Sunday's race.

The focus will also be on Lando Norris this weekend after the Brit claimed pole position, appearing to be on much better form than championship leader Oscar Piastri, who has been off the pace all weekend.

Here's how you can watch Sunday's grand prix and at what time in your region.
