More women to attend Mexican GP
MEXICO CITY • Mexican Grand Prix organisers say more women than ever are expected to attend today's Formula One race, thanks to a "widely successful" Netflix fly-on-the-wall documentary series.
Alejandro Soberon, president of race promoters CIE, told reporters that data showed a 30 per cent increase in female interest for a race that has sold out for the fifth year in a row, attributing it to the 10-part "Drive to Survive" series.
Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton will win his sixth championship if he beats teammate Valtteri Bottas by 14 points today.

The visitors' first victory in the match-up came after the hosts, who are in their first championship series, won the first two games at Houston.
Game 3 was the first World Series game contested in Washington D.C. since the then-Senators played host to the New York Giants in 1933.
