00:00Hamilton's never won a world title when he's not been leading the championship with fewer than six races to go

00:05It's lights out and away we go here

00:07Bottas and Hamilton getting away ahead of Verstappen and Perez

00:10And the wheel-to-wheel the Mercedes

00:12But what's happening behind? Perez pulls to the inside, Verstappen to the outside

00:16They're three abreast at the moment and there's three abreast behind them

00:19Into turn one we go, Verstappen is into the lead ahead of Hamilton

00:23Bottas gets tagged by Daniel Ricciardo

00:25And it's an all sorts of kerfuffle going on in that first corner

00:30There's Yuki Tsunoda getting hit in the Alfa Tauri as well

00:34Verstappen leads from Hamilton, Pierre Gasly is challenging Sergio Perez

00:39And Perez just stays ahead, then comes the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc

00:43But it's Verstappen the leads, he got the toe, he got the slipstream, he got the lead

00:47And he was brave on the brake pedal, trusted he'd have enough grip when he got there

00:52And he did, this is a nightmare start for Mercedes

00:55And there's more contacts, there's Daniel Ricciardo getting hit I think by George Russell

00:59No front wing there on the McLaren of Ricciardo either

01:03And we have a safety car here and there is Yuki Tsunoda

01:06As I said got hit and got caught up in the carnage going on down at turn two

01:11Schumacher is also out of this race

01:14We're on board with Ricciardo who locks up, then makes contact with Bottas Perez

01:19Dives off onto the grass and then there's all sorts of shenanigans going on behind

01:23Esteban Ocon who makes contact with the Haas

01:25And then you see the Alfa Tauri coming into shot on the left hand side

01:29That was just a three into two doesn't go, wasn't it?

01:32The safety car is back in the pits again and as we start lap five of this Mexico City Grand Prix

01:42Max Verstappen leads them over the line comfortably ahead of Lewis Hamilton

01:45Ahead of Sergio Perez, Gasly, Leclerc and Giovinazzi

01:48And you can see the dust that's being kicked up by these cars as Verstappen weaving around a bit down that straight

01:53Before the braking zone into turn one

01:56There's a move, Antonio Giovinazzi, opportunist maybe on Carlos Sainz

02:00Who's never scored a point here in Mexico City before and does well to hang on to that sixth place that he just pinched off the Alfa Romeo

02:09Oh, that's why he got ahead of two cars and then went back down below them again

02:14Because he had to go onto the grass to avoid quite a big shunt

02:17And a good little shove there from Daniel Ricciardo

02:23Struggling to keep the car in play as well for good measure

02:27Kimi Räikkönen is going to go around the outside of George Russell into turn one

02:32And he does, very nice indeed from the Alfa Romeo

02:36George is up to, he's in tenth now, now that Kimi has breezed past him

02:42George pulls over, unfortunately all that's going to do is attempt Fernando to go around the outside

02:48And he's got the grippier line

02:50It's a double pit stop planned for Lewis Hamilton

02:53And it seems for Sergio Perez

02:55I can't believe it, and I don't believe it because Red Bull have gone back in

02:58I think Sergio was due to come in

03:00Maybe he did the opposite of what Hamilton did

03:02That was a clean stop for Mercedes

03:032.4 seconds stationary, 22 seconds

03:07The advantage, the stationary time

03:10Oh, tyres are good

03:11This is key for Lewis

03:12It's key and it's not gone his way

03:15Because as he came out, after a decent stop, but 22 seconds he lost

03:19There is the Ferrari right on the scene to get ahead of him

03:23Races can be won or lost in the pits as well

03:25This needs to be perfect by the Red Bull boys

03:27Front tyres off, front tyres on

03:29Little tweak in the front wing

03:30Absolutely sweet

03:31Very sweet

03:32The front Jackman had to get out of the way

03:33Sharpish

03:34Because Max was ready to go

03:37Into the pits he comes

03:38And the crowd get on their feet

03:39They're willing him to have a good stop

03:41They want to, he wants to

03:43The Red Bull guys have delivered once again

03:45Sweet stuff again

03:46Wow, they are on form aren't they?

03:49Perez in clear air

03:50Finally away from the back mark

03:52It's a 1.19.468

03:53New fastest lap

03:54Gap down to 6 seconds

03:56And they're both in clear air for a little while

03:58So we're going to get a true picture now

04:00Between Hamilton and Perez

04:02We certainly are

04:0320.6 for Hamilton

04:05That's his pace

04:061.2 seconds taken out of him that lap

04:08Gap down to 6 seconds

04:09Yeah, it's crazy

04:11Can't get close

04:12Tires are getting hot

04:13Tires are getting hot

04:14Yeah, he needs to get past

04:16Lando Norris

04:18Because his tyres are getting

04:20Very hot

04:21Running behind the McLaren

04:23And Norris hasn't had any notification yet

04:25Of blue flags either

04:27So he's not obliged to jump out of the way

04:29And that gap

04:31Is now just a few car lengths

04:33And we're under a second

04:34Going into the stadium

04:36And now

04:37And now

04:38They're all on their feet

04:39They're not just cheering

04:40They're all on their feet

04:42There's Valtteri Bottas

04:44Into the pit

04:45Soft tyres on

04:46They're going for the fastest lap

04:48As round the Peral Tardot

04:50The second and third place drivers come

04:52And Perez

04:53With DRS advantage

04:5412 miles an hour

04:55Of extra pace

04:56Down this straight

04:57There he goes

04:58Okay, drain the battery

04:59Drain the battery

05:00Final lap

05:01This is it

05:02It's now or never

05:03For Sergio Perez

05:04And he was told a while back

05:05It's going to come down to the last lap

05:06And it is coming down to the last lap

05:08So last chance then

05:09DRS between turn 3 and 4

05:11Here we go

05:12And then I don't see an opportunity

05:14For the rest of the lap

05:15And Lewis is not going to make a mistake

05:17From here

05:18And

05:19There we go

05:20Is that the lunge?

05:21It would have been

05:22A bit wild if it had have been

05:23And

05:24That

05:25I believe

05:26Is game over

05:27For the third consecutive race

05:29He's going to extend his lead

05:30In the drivers championship

05:31And for the third time here

05:33He wins

05:34The Mexico City Grand Prix

05:36Max Verstappen

05:38Crosses the line

05:39A long, long way clear

05:41Of the rest

05:42Lewis Hamilton and Sergio Perez

05:44This has been the battle

05:46That's captured

05:47Our attention

05:48For the closing stages

05:49Checo gave it everything

05:50As Hamilton finishes second

05:52And for the first time ever

05:54Will have

05:55A Mexican driver

05:56On the podium

05:57In his home race

05:58Sergio Perez

05:59Comes home

06:00To finish third

06:01And the fastest lap

06:03Goes to Valtteri Bottas

06:05Mercedes on the last lap

06:06Managed to take a point

06:07Off Max Verstappen

06:09And they've been singing

06:11Ole Ole Ole Ole Checo

06:13All day long

06:14In that part of the stadium

06:16And now the Red Bull mechanics

06:17Can celebrate and sing along too

06:19These are great scenes

06:20Here in Mexico

06:23It was Maxico today

06:25Vamos Verstappen

06:26I think they'll be shouting

06:27Another win for Red Bull

06:29He increases his championship lead

06:31Four more races to go
