F1: Antonelli crowned in Mexico, Mercedes targets constructors' title at Brazil

The Brazilian Formula 1 Grand Prix takes place at Interlagos following Kimi Antonelli's world championship win in Mexico, where Mercedes can secure a ninth constructors' title, with Ferrari being the only team that can still mathematically overtake them. The tension between Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc at Ferrari remains a major theme, with instructions deemed unclear and an internal meeting announced, while several drivers, including Hamilton, Leclerc, and Verstappen, drop back on the grid due to engine component changes. Qualifying sessions were marked by rain, with Lando Norris taking pole position ahead of Fernando Alonso, who achieved his best qualifying result of the year. National perspectives differ: Italy focuses mainly on Antonelli, Ferrari, and the Hamilton-Leclerc tensions; Brazil covers the race and penalties; the United Kingdom highlights Hamilton and Aston Martin-Honda; Mexico reflects on Antonelli's title win and Aston Martin's withdrawal; while Germany and the Netherlands are interested in Ferrari's instructions and title gains.
