Hello, folks. Kimi Antonelli is very close to becoming the youngest-ever Formula 1 world champion this weekend, so can the 20-year-old Italian put his Mercedes on pole position later and start the Mexico City Grand Prix in style?

Antonelli needs only to two points to seal the title with races to spare. so a top-nine finish at the end of 71 laps of the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez will be enough to do the job.

If crowning a record-breaking champion wasn't enough, there have been two bigs stories already in the build-up to Sunday's race involving Max Verstappen and Liam Lawson plus some breaking news out of the Haas camp.
