Norris Fastest in Mexico City Practice Ahead of Antonelli
- On Friday, Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc dominated both practice sessions at the Mexico City Grand Prix, setting a fastest lap of 1:17.827 at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.

- Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli enters the weekend 123 points clear and needs only a ninth-place finish Sunday to secure his first Formula 1 title, becoming the sport's youngest champion.
