Red Bull Racing-Honda's Max Verstappen will be hoping to win the Mexican
Grand Prix for the third time in his career on November 7.
The Dutch star finished sixth at the 2019 Mexican Grand Prix, but he has won the race twice as he clinched back-to-back victories in 2017 and 2018.
Verstappen has arguably been the best driver in the current season having won the most recent race which was the United States Grand Prix on October 24.

"It was tough - we were very aggressive. I of course knew how much Lewis was catching... but we managed to hang on," Verstappen said as he reacted to the United States Grand Prix.
The tyre wear is quite high around this track, we went aggressive and I was not sure it was going to work but the last few laps were fun. A bit sideways through the high-speed corners but super happy to hang on.
"It was exciting. The whole race the pressure was on, not knowing how quick Lewis was going to get you. It's incredible to win here."
Mercedes are placed at the top of the Constructors' Championship standings and they are followed by Red Bull Racing-Honda and McLaren-Mercedes respectively.
