What happened: Formula 1 heads to Mexico City for the Mexico City Grand Prix. Kimi Antonelli can clinch the drivers championship and become the sport's youngest world champion. Sky Sports published UK session times for the weekend.

Why it matters: A title in Mexico City would settle the championship battle at the first opportunity. It would place Antonelli in the record books as the youngest champion. The outcome also decides whether the fight extends to the remaining rounds.

By the numbers: Austin victory came from pole ahead of Charles Leclerc in second and Max Verstappen in third, with Lewis Hamilton fourth and Lando Norris fifth.

What to watch: Attention turns to practice, qualifying and the grand prix in Mexico City. The standings after the flag will confirm whether the title is decided.
