# Motorsport: Italian Kimi Antonelli, who is on the brink of clinching his first Formula One Drivers’ Championship title, is recovering from a viral illness. The Mercedes driver missed media day yesterday at the Mexico City Grand Prix as a precaution to give him the chance to rest ahead of the weekend. A top-nine finish in Sunday’s race will ensure Antonelli becomes the sport’s youngest world champion at 20 years old, breaking Sebastian Vettel’s record by three years. The first practice for the race is at 8:30 this evening.
