Verstappen to turn screw on McLaren's duo as Ferrari milestone looms at Mexican GP

Ferrari will have gone a year without a win in Mexico this weekend and the wait looks likely to continue as Red Bull's Max Verstappen seeks to turn the screw on McLaren's Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris.

Four-times world champion Verstappen is staging an astonishing Formula One fightback, from 104 points down on Piastri at the end of August to 40 adrift now, and chasing a fourth victory in the last five grands prix.

The last Ferrari winner was Carlos Sainz in Mexico on October 27 last year, with Norris second and Verstappen an unhappy sixth after serving two 10-second penalties.

The Spaniard, now with Williams, can be counted out this time -- particularly since he picked up a five place grid drop in Texas last Sunday.
