Max Verstappen cruises to victory in Mexico City

Max Verstappen has extended his Championship lead with victory in Sunday's Mexico City Grand Prix.

The Red Bull driver started in third place on the grid, behind Valtteri Bottas and rival Lewis Hamilton, but it was all change after the first corner.

As Bottas spun and went to the back of the field, Verstappen moved past Hamilton, and it set the tone for a one-sided race for the Dutchman.

At a time when Verstappen was cruising to another race win, most eyes were on the battle for second as Sergio Perez attempted to overhaul Hamilton.

Despite the home driver closing down the defending world champion, Hamilton kept his nose in front, collecting valuable points in the title race.

Verstappen now leads Hamilton by 19 points with four races remaining, Bottas now only 20 points ahead of Perez in third after finishing down in 15th place.
