Mexican Grand Prix Betting
The Mexican Grand Prix is back! And this year it's hotter than ever as we see a unique blend of high-altitude racing and passionate fans across the weekend. As the drivers battle it out at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, there are plenty of betting opportunities to push the racing action to the limit.
In 2024, we arrive in Mexico with just five races remaining in the season and title hopes fading for Lando Norris, who needs to beat Max Verstappen by an average of 11.4 points in every race to win the title. Of course, Super Max hasn't had a pole position since Austria and hasn't won any of the last nine races. If Max finishes on the podium in every race, he'll win the Drivers Championship. Will that happen in Mexico?
Mexican Grand Prix Betting: Who to look out for
The Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez presents a unique challenge with its high altitude, thin air impacting engine performance and downforce levels. Historically, Red Bull have thrived in these conditions, with Max Verstappen particularly dominant in recent years. Lewis Hamilton, a two-time winner in Mexico, will be aiming to challenge for victory, while Sergio Perez will be hoping to give the home crowd something to cheer about.
We think in 2025, you'll have to keep an eye on
Red Bull: Strong recent form at the circuit, coupled with their powerful engine, makes them favourites even if out of form.
Mercedes: Showing resurgence after Silverstone and Spa, and Hamilton's experience here could be a factor. While emotions are high, the classy Mercedes drivers could cause a shock result here.
Oscar Piastri: If there is one person who hasn't benefitted from Lando Norris' success, it's his teammate who has taken a backseat to Norris in the second half of the season.
Fastest Lap Betting at the Mexican Grand Prix
The fight for the fastest lap in Mexico often goes down to the wire. Valtteri Bottas holds the current lap record (1:17.774), set in 2021 with Mercedes. However, with Red Bull's recent dominance and the potential for late-race tyre strategies, expect a thrilling battle for that extra championship point.
While Lando Norris fights for the title with Max Verstappen, we wouldn't expect either of them to land the fastest lap but you can bank on both Red Bull with Sergio Perez and McLaren with Oscar Piastri both including fastest lap attempts in their strategy.
Ultimately, fastest lap betting depends on the track but there are dozens of potential variables, which must be taken into the equation but are very unpredictable.
Mexican Grand Prix Safety Car Betting
The Mexican Grand Prix has a history of throwing up surprises, sometimes it could be said, the Mexican Grand Prix is a fiesta of flags! The first corner chicane is always a potential flashpoint, and the tight infield section can lead to incidents. While recent years have seen fewer safety car deployments, the unpredictable nature of this race means a safety car appearance can never be ruled out.
Depending on how the grid lines-up and the desperation of drivers to get in-front of those next to them, we could easily see an early safety car or yellow flag depending on the nature of the damage.
Of course, everybody hopes for a clean race but Mexico has a habit of pulling a rabbit out of the hat.
