Max Verstappen won the Grand Prix to set new records for most races won and points earned in a single season – very impressive stuff. But he and his Red Bull team had already made sure of both titles before the race weekend began, so there was no intrigue to be found on that front. The crowd, as always in Mexico City, was beyond belief. The passion, the colours, the noise – booming chants of "Checo, Checo," whenever those in the grandstands caught even the faintest glimpse of home hero Sergio Perez were enough to leave you needing new eardrums. But unfortunately that was the peak, from an entertainment standpoint. The race itself was genuinely quite difficult to watch at times, due to the basic lack of any sort of action. You know it's been a boring one when the weekend is remembered for being the one at which Red Bull decided to boycott Sky Sports interviews over their recent coverage. The major problem is the altitude. The Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez – easily the most entertaining circuit name to say aloud – sits a whopping 2.2km above sea level. And, of course, that means much thinner air which engines don't tend to like all that much. Such is the complexity of the modern-day F1 car, that spells trouble. A few specks of dust get into the wrong place, and that can be enough to cripple these giant computers on wheels. Only two drivers had to retire from this year's edition of the race, but that's because everyone went into it having taken some fairly extreme measures to deal with the conditions.
