All the stories that got the Mexico City paddock talking

Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli arrived in Mexico ahead of the upcoming Grand Prix weekend with a chance to become Formula 1's youngest World Champion following his recent victory in Austin. However, the 20-year-old was unable to attend Thursday's media day activities at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez after falling ill with a viral infection. Antonelli remained at his hotel to recover, having received official dispensation to skip his mandatory media duties for the day.
