Lando 'must win' in Mexico, but will Max and Ferrari be too strong? Mexico City GP Preview

F1 Nation

Ahead of the Mexico City Grand Prix, Tom Clarkson sits down with Ferrari Ambassador Marc Gené to preview a crucial weekend for both F1 World Championships.
In the Drivers' title fight, McLaren's Lando Norris needs a victory. Does he need to be on pole position to avoid needing to overtake supreme defender Max Verstappen, or does the long run to the first corner change the game?
After Ferrari's 1-2 finish at the United States Grand Prix, Marc explains why they're confident the car can perform well again at Mexico's high altitude racetrack and how the team is feeling about a Constructors' Championship challenge.
Plus, Marc and Tom discuss the drivers who need a good result: Sergio Perez who wants to ease the pressure on his place in F1, Williams' Franco Colapinto, who is still trying to claim a place on the 2025 grid, and Fernando Alonso, who is competing in his 400th Grand Prix.
