World Champion Max Verstappen split the Ferrari front row of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz at the start to snatch the lead at the Mexican Grand Prix, then drove off to his record 16th victory of the season on Sunday.

Red Bull's three-time season champion collected his third consecutive win and broke his own season victories record set last year. Moreover, Verstappen drew level with Alain Prost on 51 Formula One victories.

Lewis Hamilton finished second with Leclerc third.

Home favourite Sergio Perez's race was over quickly. The Mexican driver, who is fighting to hang on to second in the championship behind Verstappen, was taken out in the first corner when his car clipped tires with Leclerc and bounced high into the air.
