Formula One returns to the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez this weekend for the Mexico Grand Prix.

The Mexico City circuit is the highest track on the schedule by altitude – at around 7,500 feet above sea level – and drivers must adapt to the conditions quickly if they are to claim a spot on the podium.

Red Bull's Max Verstappen (five race wins) and Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton (two wins) are two of the most successful drivers in Mexico Grand Prix history but it was world title winner Lando Norris that stormed to victory last year.
