Mexican Grand Prix: Pit-lane insider

Race winner: Max Verstappen (9/4 with Sky Bet)

Red Bull had the best race pace on Friday practice and he was so close to poll yesterday. Luckily for him, he has nearly 900 metres to try and beat Vettel into turn 1 and he can certainly do that. Plus, we know he always wins when Daniil Kvyat gets demoted, right?

Mexican Grand Prix: Sky Bet odds

Lewis Hamilton is odds-on with Sky Bet to win Sunday's Mexican Grand Prix and clinch a fourth world title.

Hamilton, winner of five of the last six races since the summer break and last year's victor in Mexico, can afford to finish fifth and he would still be crowned champion.

The Briton is 5/6 to top the podium and Sky Bet also offer a 5/1 Price Boost for the 32-year-old to top qualifying, record the fastest lap and wrap up the championship in Mexico.

Sebastian Vettel, who finished second last week, is a 5/2 shot to win the race, while Hamilton's Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas is 12/1 to claim the race win.
