Verstappen’s hopes of a fifth straight Drivers Championship remain alive after the Oracle Red Bull star edged past both McLaren rivals to finish first in last Sunday’s United States GP in Austin.
The gap between Verstappen and championship leader Oscar Piastri is down to 40 points with five rounds remaining. With Piastri finding it hard to match teammate Lando Norris for pace in Texas, the pressure is beginning to mount on the Australian ahead of what looks to be a pivotal installment of an exciting F1 season.
The Mexico GP takes place at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City on Sunday, Oct. 26, at 2 p.m. CST local time. Starting time in the US and Canada is 4 p.m. ET, 1 p.m. PT and 8 p.m. GMT in the UK, while Australian viewers will be looking at a 7 a.m. AEDT start on Monday morning.
The entire race weekend, including practice sessions and qualifying, will be shown in the US on ESPN’s family of TV and streaming networks. Folks who want to follow the whole race weekend will need access to the ABC and ESPN news channels on cable or live TV streaming services, or the ESPN Plus streaming service.

Every Formula One race during the 2025 season will be televised on ESPN, ESPN2 or ABC. All practice and qualifying sessions and all F1 Sprint events also will be broadcast. This race will be carried on ESPN.
Selected races will also stream on ESPN Plus, featuring two alternate streams for all races (Driver Tracker and mixed onboard cameras).
ESPN’s stand-alone streaming service is great for casual fans of F1 and is a must-have accessory for fanatics. It costs $12 a month or $120 a year.
If you’re an F1 fan who’s also looking to get your Disney fix, the Disney trio bundle (Hulu, Disney Plus and ESPN Plus) might be an even better buy. It’s great for fans who love catching the parts of the race weekend that typically air on ESPN2 or ESPNews, and who also want the latest Marvel movies or Star Wars shows.
If you’re a diehard fan of motorsports and Formula Series racing, ESPN Plus might not be for you, given that it rarely covers F2, F3 or Porsche Supercar racing. That’s why ESPN Plus is ideal for casual fans who enjoy catching a race every once in a while or fans who don’t want or need all of the extra bells and whistles of F1 TV but want to beef up their coverage options.
