Formula 1 excitement in Mexico: Antonelli could make history

Formula 1 teams are hitting the track for the Mexico Grand Prix. At the Hermanos Rodriguez Circuit in the capital, Mexico City, the race will be run over 71 laps of a 4,304-meter circuit. Qualifying will begin at 00:00 Turkey time, on the night linking Saturday, October 31, and Sunday, November 1.

Mercedes' Italian driver Kimi Antonelli sits at the top of the points table. The 20-year-old holds a 123-point lead over his teammate George Russell, giving him a serious advantage in the championship fight.

If Antonelli finishes in the top nine, he will become the youngest champion in Formula 1 history. That result would open a new chapter in the sport's past.

Qualifying and the main race will shape the strategies of both drivers and teams. For fans, the Mexico leg stands out as a critical weekend that could clarify the course of the championship.
