Kimi Antonelli arrives in Mexico with the Formula 1 title within his grasp. Despite a viral infection, he is set to become the youngest champion in the sport’s history. Antonelli needs to finish ninth or better to secure the title, regardless of his rivals' results. He missed Thursday’s media session but is expected to be fit for the opening practice. Winning in Mexico would also boost Mercedes in the constructors’ championship.

Meanwhile, Colton Herta will drive Valtteri Bottas’s Cadillac during the first practice session.
