Max Verstappen leads the Mexican Grand Prix after taking the lead at turn one. The 24-year old Dutchman had a great start when the lights went out and immediately put Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton under pressure. Bottas was spun at turn 1 by Daniel Ricciardo and dropped all the way back to P18.
There was more damage, as Daniel Ricciardo 's front wing went in the process and Yuki Tsunoda crashed out along with Mick Schumacher with the incidents bringing out the safety car.
