# Motorsport: Nine full-time drivers will sit out the first practice for the weekend’s Formula One Grand Prix in Mexico City as part of the commitment to give debutants at least two practice sessions per season. The drivers include reigning world champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull, McLaren’s Lando Norris and Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton. Championship leader, Australian Oscar Piastri, will practice for McLaren, though, which means he will almost certainly miss the first practice for the season’s final race in Abu Dhabi in December.
