The 20-year-old Italian and teammate George Russell have put Mercedes 126 points clear of Ferrari with four races to go, meaning Mercedes will be champions for the first time since 2021 if they can stretch their advantage by four points at Interlagos on Sunday.

"I'm just trying to gather my energies and focus, trying to give everything for these last races because we have still got to win the constructors' championship, and I want to try to finish very well," Antonelli, who clinched the title in Mexico last Sunday, told Reuters Television.
