Rome, 30 Oct. (LaPresse) – “I’m really excited. I’d love to clinch the title in style, with a great result. That’s the mindset. It’s always been that mindset, and it will remain so from now until the end of the season. I’ll simply try to enjoy every moment, because these are moments that will stay with me forever.” So said Kimi Antonelli on the eve of the free practice session for the Mexican Grand Prix, having secured his ninth win of the season last week in Texas. Antonelli could become the first Italian driver to win the title since Alberto Ascari in 1953. On Sunday, Mercedes could clinch the constructors’ title for the first time since 2021; a feat that would require a substantial haul of points from Antonelli and Russell, combined with a disastrous race for Ferrari, currently second in the standings.
