Max Verstappen says his dominant Formula 1 victor🦩y in Sunday's Mexican Grand Prix ranks among the easiest races of his racing career after a commanding display at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez for Red Bull.

Verstappen seized the lead of the race on the opening lap after musclin🎶g his way past Sebastian Vettel, and ultimately crossed the line 20 seconds clear of the pack to record his third F1 victory.

The result saw Verstappen continued his strong finish to the season after a win in Malaysia and a podium in Japan, with the Dutchman always having confidence🧸 he could fight at the front in 🍬Mexico.

"I was confident that the car was going to be good, because just looking at the long-run pace, it was very easy for us to do quick lap times. We just had to make sure the balance of the car wa𒁏s correct to be able to sustain that," Verstappen said.

"The start itself was not great because I was very high on the limiter which is not great, I don't know why. But then it was actual🦩ly perfect because I had a good tow on Sebastian and went🎉 around the outside in Turn 1.

"From there on I was just doing my own race to be honest𒊎. This🍷 was actually one of my easiest races of my whole career."

Verstap𒆙pen's victory acted ꧙as a perfect response following his controversial penalty last weekend in Austin, with the Red Bull driver wryly joking he considered cutting a corner to get a penalty just to spice things up.

"Actually I was so far in front, I was like let's cut a corner so we get a five-second penalty just to make iꦿt more interesting!" Verstappen joked.

"No... It was a good race, I was very happy abou🌳t that. Of course after last week, this 🐓is a great result."
