All the stories that got the Mexico City paddock talking

Kimi Antonelli touched down in Mexico earlier this week knowing that he stands on the brink of becoming Formula 1's youngest World Champion following a beautifully crafted victory last Sunday in Austin.

However, we didn't get to hear from him on Thursday in the Mexico City paddock, as the Mercedes racer was under the weather while recovering from a viral illness.

The 20-year-old stayed at the hotel after being given dispensation to miss his mandatory media duties at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
