The battle for the 2025 Formula 1 drivers' championship is well and truly alive, so we thought we'd take a look at how things stand ahead of Sunday's Mexico Grand Prix.

McLaren star Oscar Piastri continues to lead the way in the drivers' standings ahead of lights out in Mexico City, but after a string of underwhelming performances - including qualifying on Saturday - the Australian star is under pressure.

Teammate Lando Norris has closed the gap to just 14 points at this stage, and remarkably, Max Verstappen is now just 40 points behind following his dominance at the US Grand Prix last time out and indeed in recent weeks.

The order is set to be shaken up once again after today's race, with Norris having earned pole position on Saturday, and his rivals struggling.

Verstappen will start Sunday's grand prix in fifth spot - two places ahead of Piastri in seventh, elevated from where he qualified in eighth due to a grid penalty for Williams' Carlos Sainz.
