Mexico City Grand Prix live updates: Kimi Antonelli looking to clinch world championship from fourth on the grid

Formula 1 returns this weekend for the second race of a triple-header in Mexico City, marking the 19th round of a planned 23. Kimi Antonelli, 20, heads into the event with a 123-point lead over Mercedes teammate George Russell and a 124-point advantage over Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton, and is close to clinching the sport’s youngest title. According to the qualification scenarios, Antonelli only needs to finish ninth or better to secure the championship regardless of rivals’ positions. A 10th place or worse would only hand him the title if neither Russell nor Hamilton wins. Meanwhile, Haas has made a mid-weekend change: reserve driver Ryo Hirakawa replaces Esteban Ocon for the rest of the weekend.
