- Kimi Antonelli, 20, is on the verge of securing his first Formula 1 world championship at the Mexican Grand Prix.
- The Mercedes driver currently holds a 123-point lead over teammate George Russell after securing nine Grand Prix victories and 15 podiums this season.
- Antonelli needs only a ninth-place finish in Mexico City to seal the title, but if he retires from the race or finishes outside the top-10, then Russell or Hamilton must win to take the fight to Brazil.
- If successful, the Italian will surpass Sebastian Vettel to become the youngest world champion in the sport's 76-year history.
- He would also become just the third driver to win the drivers' championship in only his second Formula 1 season, joining Lewis Hamilton and Jacques Villeneuve.
