Antonelli has the crown, but the Mexico City Grand Prix weekend produced standout performances across the grid that deserve a closer look.
Kimi Antonelli has clinched the title, but the Mexico City Grand Prix wasn't only about the champion. Every driver on the grid had a different story to tell, and the question now is who made the most of the weekend.
The Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez is one of the toughest tests on the calendar. The high altitude means thin air, which strains cooling and cuts downforce. Cars slide around, tyres overheat, and small errors get punished fast. A strong result here usually reflects real adaptability as well as raw pace.
That is why driver ratings matter after a race like this. Finishing position alone rarely tells the full story. Some drivers drag a car beyond its limits, some recover from a scrappy start, and others make a strategy work when it looks doomed. Judging performance means weighing the car, the race situation and the pressure that came with each of those moments.
With the title decided, the focus shifts to pride, momentum and positioning for what comes next. Teams will use the remaining rounds to chase points, test ideas and keep building. Expect the fight to stay fierce even with the biggest prize settled.
