Hamilton puts polish on Antonelli's coronation at the Mexican GP

A championship that was difficult to imagine, very well worked and executed, will make Kimi Antonelli one of the most relevant figures in the history of Formula 1, when he is crowned, most likely today (9:00 p.m.; Dazn) in Mexico, as long as he crosses the finish line in the top nine. A goal that can be taken for granted if we consider that the Bolognese has done it in all grand prix in which he has managed to overcome breakdowns, which visited him on three occasions.

After the victory he signed last week, the ninth of the course for the Mercedes, the star brand and its new Wonder Boy appeared at the Hermanos Rodríguez circuit with the party ready to turn the kid into the youngest champion ever. Regardless of whether he does it on the route of the Mexican capital, or if the stars turn his face and he has to do it in Brazil next week; The margin he has with respect to the second youngest, Sebastian Vettel, is more than three years. A true madness in a discipline that is measured to the thousandth, and that manages budgets of 200 million euros this year.

In the monumental facility in the center of Mexico City, Lewis Hamilton put polish on the nomination of the new king of F1, with his first pole in the Ferrari suit, his first since 2023 and the 105th on his service record. Antonelli will start fourth after taking advantage of Max Verstappen's position suspension for an altercation he had with Liam Lawson in rehearsals. Fernando Alonso will start 18th and Carlos Sainz, 16th.
