Dutch Max Verstappen (Red Bull) was confirmed as the leader of the world championship of Formula 1 this Sunday by winning with authority the Grand Prix of Mexico where he extended the advantage that he takes to the British Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes), current world champion, who finished second.

The third place on the podium it was for the Mexican Sergio “Checo” Pérez (Red Bull), who for a few moments led the race to the delight of the local fans that packed the stands of the Hermanos Rodríguez Racetrack.

The “poleman” Valtteri Bottas lost the privileged position a few meters after the start after combining a vertiginous pass by Verstappen with a touch with the Australian Daniel Ricciardo (McLaren).
