Wolff: Quirky solution for Antonelli on track limitsToto Wolff, the Mercedes team principal, made a light-hearted comment regarding Kimi Antonelli's struggles with track limits, suggesting he might place a pillow under Antonelli to help him see the track better. Antonelli's recent performance has been impressive, as he currently leads the drivers' championship by 102 points after finishing third in the Singapore Grand Prix. He is on the verge of becoming Formula 1's youngest world champion, with the potential to secure the title at the next race in Texas. Despite facing challenges during the race, including receiving a final warning for track limit violations, Antonelli managed to maintain his position and extend his championship lead. Wolff praised Antonelli's maturity and ability to handle a difficult car, indicating that the team is focused on scoring points as they approach the final races of the season. The possibility of changes to the race calendar, including the cancellation of the Qatar round, could further impact Antonelli's title chase.

Kimi Antonelli’s title hopes boosted by proposed F1 calendar overhaulThe 2026 Formula 1 World Championship is undergoing significant changes due to escalating security threats in the Middle East, leading to the potential cancellation of the Qatar and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix. Instead, the season finale is planned to take place at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola on 6 December, with preparations already underway for this contingency. This calendar adjustment has major implications for the championship standings. Currently, Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes leads the standings with a substantial points advantage. If the schedule is shortened, Antonelli's path to the championship becomes clearer, as he could secure the title with a victory at the Circuit of the Americas, potentially making him the youngest world champion in Formula 1 history.
