Max Verstappen won yet another race having comfortably sealed victory at the Mexican Grand Prix. At team-mate Sergio Perez\u2019s home race, the Dutchman broke his own record for race wins in a single season by claiming his 16 victory of 2023.<\/p>\n
It was not such a happy occasion for Perez, though, with the Mexican crashing out on the first lap of his home race. The Red Bull star made contact with Charles Leclerc at the very first corner.<\/p>\n
There were some positives for Mercedes to take away from Mexico City. Lewis Hamilton was the runner-up, sealing a sixth podium finish.<\/p>\n
