MEXICO CITY – With four races remaining in the calendar, the main focus for the rest of the season is the fight for 2021 FIA Formula 1 world title at stake between Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) and championship leader Max Verstappen (Red Bull Racing) after the 24-year-old Dutchman beats the seven-time world champion for the second successive race in a row in a chaotic Mexican Grand Prix. As the top-two title contenders had changed their final engine unit at Russian and Turkish GP respectively, either Verstappen or Hamilton will go all or nothing for the title. However for Hamilton, the Briton needs to wait for Verstappen making mistake somewhere at Brazilian, Qatar, Saudi Arabian or Abu Dhabi GP. Having finished 2nd to Verstappen in U.S. and Mexican GPs, Hamilton needs patience if he's looking for Verstappen's mistake in the final four races of the season to win his eighth world title . 2021 Mexican GP race results
