Kimi Antonelli stands on the brink of a maiden World Drivers' Championship as Formula 1 heads to Mexico City for the 19th round of the 2026 season.
The Italian demonstrated why he's on the verge of becoming the sport's youngest ever world champion with a phenomenal victory in the United States Grand Prix last weekend.
His triumph in Austin moved him 123 points clear of his Mercedes team-mate and nearest challenger George Russell with only 125 points up for grabs, meaning Antonelli's title coronation is almost a formality.

How Kimi Antonelli can win the F1 title at the Mexico City GP
