Norris Fastest in Mexico City Practice Ahead of Antonelli
Norris set a late lap to lead FP3 as Antonelli stayed second, with Leclerc third and Verstappen serving a grid penalty.
- 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.
- The 2,240-metre altitude at the circuit stresses turbochargers, and Mercedes driver George Russell noted Ferrari's smaller turbo design provides "quite an advantage" in managing this environmental stress.
- Ten rookies participated in Friday's opening practice, while red flags halted the second session after Max Verstappen and Liam Lawson collided, and Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton suffered a power failure.

- 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.
