Ferrari fastest as Verstappen says Kiwi rival should 'act a little smarter'
Ferrari's Charles Leclerc was fastest in both practice sessions for a Mexico City Grand Prix set to crown 20-year-old Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli as Formula 1's youngest champion.
Charles Leclerc of Ferrari set the fastest lap in both Friday's practice sessions at the upcoming Formula 1 Mexican Grand Prix. However, Max Verstappen and his former teammate Liam Lawson collided during the second session, causing a virtual safety car to be deployed. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, who is set to challenge 20-year-old Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli for the title, was also fastest in the second practice, but will need to improve to secure the championship.
Antonelli currently trails by 123 points and needs just two more points to clinch the title. Meanwhile, Leclerc expressed frustration with the slippery track conditions and Lewis Hamilton's early pit stop, while Verstappen criticized Lawson's racing style as unsportsmanlike.
