  "account": "At the Mexico City Grand Prix, Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton secured his first pole position in over three years, taking the top spot on the grid for the race. The 43-year-old Hamilton, making his 105th pole in his career, expressed that his main focus was on securing the best result for the team rather than considering winning himself. His teammate, Charles Leclerc, was just 0.037 seconds ahead of him in qualifying. On the other side of the grid, Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli, the 20-year-old driver, started fourth place, putting him in a strong position to secure his maiden title as the youngest champion in Formula 1 history. However, the veteran's seat at Mercedes is now held by Hamilton, overshadowing Antonelli's weekend. Antonelli admitted that he felt tense during the race, negatively impacting his performance, but he remained hopeful to finish where he started and fulfill his ambition of winning the championship.",
