British driver Lando Norris set the fastest time in the final practice session for the 2026 Mexican Grand Prix, edging out championship hopeful Andrea Kimi Antonelli. The McLaren driver's performance on Saturday at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez puts him in a strong position for qualifying later in the day.
Antonelli, the Mercedes rookie who has emerged as a surprise title contender this season, finished second in the session. The Italian teenager has been impressive throughout the weekend but could not match Norris's pace in the final hour of running before qualifying.
The session took place on October 31, 2026, with teams fine-tuning their setups for the high-altitude Mexican circuit. Norris's strong showing continues McLaren's competitive form at the venue, where the team has historically performed well.
