F1 action moves on from the United States to Mexico this weekend for the Mexican Grand Prix at the Mexico City circuit. The 23rd edition of this Grand Prix is scheduled to take place from October 29-31 at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. The drivers’ and Constructors’ titles have already been decided but there’s still a lot at stake as we head out to Mexico!
