Ten of the best pictures which tell the story of the 2016 Mexican Grand Prix weekend.
Daniil Kvyat and Esteban Gutierrez

Max Verstappen
He’s been scaring the other drivers again.
Esteban Gutierrez
Gutierrez wore a special helmet with a tribute to Mexican racers Ricardo and Pedro Rodriguez, who the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez is named after.
Daniel Ricciardo
The Foro Sol stadium was packed for a second year running.
Jolyon Palmer
After a setback on Saturday when a crack was found in his chassis which kept him from qualifying, Palmer climbed through the field on Sunday.
Start
A glazed brake caused Lewis Hamilton to lock up a long way before the first corner.
Sergio Perez
It was a frustrating home race for Sergio Perez who lagged behind his team mate in qualifying, was unhappy with his team’s choice of strategy and couldn’t make a move stick on Felipe Massa.
Nico Rosberg
Nico Rosberg couldn’t catch Hamilton but as long as he keeps finishing second he doesn’t need to.
Sebastian Vettel
Just minutes after angrily swearing at race director Charlie Whiting on the radio, Sebastian Vettel celebrated his promotion to the podium after Max Verstappen was penalised. But there was a string in the tail: Vettel collcted a penalty of his own, and the third place trophy eventually went to Daniel Ricciardo.
