Norris looking to capitalise and Ferrari eyeing a first win of 2025 – What To Watch For in the Mexico City GP
Chris Medland picks out five key things to keep an eye on when the lights go out on race day at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.


From a big opening in the title race to Ferrari in the mix, and from a long run to Turn 1 to the added challenge of cooling, here are five things look out for when the lights go out on race day in front of another sellout crowd in Mexico City.
1. Norris’ big championship opportunity
Ever since retiring from the Dutch Grand Prix, Lando Norris has been slowly but surely eating into the lead team mate Oscar Piastri had built up in the Drivers’ Championship, reducing it to 14 points heading into this weekend.
