Join us in Mexico City from October 30 to November 1 for the nineteenth round of the 2026 F1 season.
Mexico could make history in F1 and for Kimi Antonelli. On Sunday, the Mercedes driver will approach the nineteenth round of the season with the chance to secure his first world title. At 20 years old, the Italian would become the youngest champion in F1 history, breaking the record set by Sebastian Vettel in 2010.
The venue has seen great triumphs. After a first non-championship race in 1962, the Mexican Grand Prix became part of the global calendar in 1963, with a victory by Jim Clark. Held until 1970, then from 1986 to 1992, it returned to F1 in 2015. In the meantime, Mexico crowned John Surtees in 1964, Denny Hulme in 1967, and Graham Hill in 1968. Lewis Hamilton also sealed his titles there in 2017 and 2018. Antonelli could thus extend this tradition at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.
After winning for the ninth time this year in Austin, the leader now has a 123-point lead over George Russell and 124 over Hamilton, his two last mathematically eligible rivals. With 125 points still available, the calculation is simple: a ninth-place finish, worth two points, will secure him the title on Sunday, regardless of the results of the British drivers.
If he finishes tenth, Antonelli will be champion as long as Russell does not win. If he leaves with no points, neither Russell nor Hamilton can win. In case of a tie in the final standings, his nine victories already give him the edge. He could even be crowned champion if he retires.
Now he must navigate a unique challenge, set at 2,285 meters above sea level, where the thin air complicates cooling among other things. The Mexican crowd will also celebrate the return of Sergio Pérez, now with Cadillac after his absence in 2025. But behind the festive atmosphere, all eyes will be on Antonelli, just two points away from immense glory.
