Lando Norris set the fastest time in final practice for the Formula 1 Mexico Grand Prix on Saturday, beating Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli by a mere 0.001 seconds at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
The McLaren driver's benchmark lap came during the hour-long session that serves as the last opportunity for teams to fine-tune their setups before qualifying later in the day. Norris's margin over Antonelli represents one of the closest practice sessions in recent F1 history.
Antonelli, making his first appearance at the Mexican venue in an F1 car, impressed with a strong showing for Mercedes. The session took place on October 31, 2026, with teams gathering crucial data on tire degradation and aerodynamic balance ahead of the weekend's decisive sessions.
