Five things to look out for at the F1 Mexico GP

Here are five things to look out for at the F1 Mexico GP:

1. Kimi Antonelli, the 20-year-old sensation from Mercedes, is on a collision course to becoming the youngest world champion in Formula 1 history. With a 123-point lead over George Russell and Lewis Hamilton, Antonelli needs only to finish ninth or higher to clinch the title at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.

2. This weekend is the business end of the 2026 season, with just five races remaining. With 125 points left available, Antonelli can secure the championship by finishing ninth or higher, even if it means finishing outside the points.

3. Mercedes is set to give the constructors' title to F1, their first since Hamilton claimed a record-equalling seventh crown in 2020. Their dominant performance in the W17 power unit, coupled with their strong start to the season, puts them in a strong position to clinch the constructors' championship at Mexico.

4. Red Bull continues to face two significant issues, poor race starts and technical problems related to radio. These challenges have impacted their performance in recent races, including the Austin GP where Max Verstappen finished on the podium despite technical issues.

5. Ferrari, on the other hand, has fallen short in their attempts to end their nine-race winless run. While they have outscored every other team in the past two rounds, their inability to secure a win has left them struggling in the championship standings.
