The 2026 Mexican Grand Prix on Sunday might play an important part in determining the champion, as the Formula 1 season approaches its concluding stages.

Kimi Antonelli visits Mexico with a dominant 123-point lead over his Mercedes team-mate George Russell, and the Italian is on the verge of being the youngest-ever Formula 1 champion.

Mercedes themselves have a 133-point lead over Ferrari in the Constructors’ Championship, although it would take an immense swing of points for the former to win the championship in Mexico. 

Red Bull and McLaren, on the other hand, are tied in 355 points in the battle for the third place, and Max Verstappen’s sudden upsurge adds another storyline to the contest.

Verstappen arrives Mexico with wins in Malaysia and Singapore, as well as a third-place finish in Austin, while home hero Sergio Perez will be making his 300th F1 start. 

The high-altitude Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, located at 2,285 meters above sea level, will be another challenge for teams’ car efficiency and reliability.
