Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli can secure the Formula One World Championship at the Mexico City Grand Prix by finishing in ninth place or higher. If Antonelli fails to score points, he will still clinch the title provided neither George Russell nor Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton wins the race. Winning the title would make the 20-year-old the youngest champion in F1 history, surpassing Sebastian Vettel's record from 2010.

Mercedes could also potentially secure the Constructors' Championship this weekend, though it requires outscoring Ferrari by 39 points. Antonelli currently leads the drivers' standings with 365 points, holding a 123-point advantage over teammate Russell with four races remaining after Mexico City.
