MEXICO CITY, Oct 23 — Max Verstappen chases a fourth win in five starts this weekend as he bids to heap more pressure on McLaren duo Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris at the Mexico City Grand Prix, one of his most rewarding tracks.

Red Bull’s four-time world champion, who has won five times in seven years at the high-altitude Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, has cut Piastri’s lead ahead of him, in third place, from 104 points to 40 since August with a scintillating burst of form.
