Norris Tops Final Practice at Mexican Grand Prix Ahead of Title Contender Antonelli

Norris Tops Final Practice at Mexican Grand Prix Ahead of Title Contender Antonelli
World Sports · 23:42:01 - Saturday, 7 November 2026

Lando Norris set the fastest time in the final practice session for the 2026 Mexican Grand Prix on Saturday, edging out championship hopeful Andrea Kimi Antonelli at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.

The British McLaren driver headed the timesheets in the last hour of running before qualifying, with Antonelli — widely seen as a leading title contender this season — settling for second place. The session took place on October 31, 2026, as teams fine-tuned their setups for the high-altitude Mexico City circuit.

Norris's pace in the closing practice suggests McLaren remains competitive on a track where aerodynamic efficiency and engine performance are tested by the thin air. Antonelli's strong showing reinforces his status as a frontrunner in the drivers' championship battle.
