Champion at 20: Antonelli Ends Italy’s 73-Year Wait in Mexico

2026-11-0506:58

He only needed ninth in Mexico. He finished third, with a brilliant pass on Leclerc at the restart to seal it. Verstappen won a messy, red-flagged race after Bottas’s big crash, Hamilton chased him down from pole and finished under a second behind, and Russell’s weekend fell apart with a first-corner tangle, a penalty and sixth place.

Antonelli won in Austin and still couldn’t clinch the title. This week we get into why.He took pole, got a flying start while Verstappen fumbled his, and controlled the race with a one-stop strategy for his ninth win of the season. Leclerc charged late for second, Verstappen took third, and Hamilton missed the podium by a single second after a Virtual Safety Car froze the race just as he was closing in.We talk through what Mercedes got right, whether Ferrari’s two-stop was a mistake or just bad luck, and why Russell’s eighth place is the only thing stopping the champagne. Antonelli is 123 points clear with 125 left, so Mexico looks like a coronation. We also look at what it all means for the title fight.

Lights Out, System Says No! An Embarrassing Day In F1 History

Verstappen hadn't won all season. Then Malaysia happened. The race got delayed 90 minutes before it even started; rain hit Sepang, there were two safety cars, and half the field was guessing when to switch tyres. Through all of it, Verstappen came out on top for his first win of 2026. The bigger story might be Russell, though. He was running third, in podium contention, and didn't even finish. His title hopes are in real trouble now. Antonelli just had to get through the race and took second, stretching his lead to 84 points. Hamilton grabbed his first podium since Silverstone after a rough start.

Antonelli's Title Lead Just Got a Lot Smaller

I'll admit I went into this race expecting another Antonelli story after Monza. Instead, he was starting 16th after crashing in qualifying; Piastri and Norris both had miserable days, and it was Russell — not the championship leader — who came out on top after holding Verstappen off in one of the tightest finishes this sport has seen in decades. Let's get into it!
