Formula 1 driver Kimi Antonelli is battling a viral illness ahead of this weekend's Mexico Grand Prix, where the 20-year-old could become the youngest champion in the sport's history.
The Mercedes driver, who turned 20 earlier this year, arrives at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez with a chance to clinch the 2026 title. However, his preparation has been disrupted by the illness, raising questions about his fitness for the decisive race.
Antonelli was photographed in the pit lane during the Italian Grand Prix at Monza on September 6, 2026. The Mexico Grand Prix takes place this weekend, with the championship potentially decided on Sunday.
