Red Bull’s superstar Max Verstappen registers his eighth victory of the season as he sweeps the Mexican GP and wins the race in fantastic fashion as he dominated the race from the very beginning. Even though the 25-year-old did not have the best qualifying session on Saturday, he did not give up on the race as he knew that Red Bull had a very good chance of attaining a win at the Mexican GP.
After finding the slipstream of Bottas who started from pole position, Verstappen quickly acted upon it and overtook both Hamilton and Bottas in the very first turn of the first lap itself, giving his team a comfortable position for the remaining 70 laps to come. Drama and menace in the first lap helped Perez secure a podium position as well after Valtteri Bottas was spun by Daniel Ricciardo.
