墨西哥大奖赛五件事值得关注
本周末，备受关注的墨西哥大奖赛即将开赛，在奥斯汀站赢得胜利的基米·安东内利将在墨西哥站再次亮相。这是梅赛德斯车手在2026赛季的第九场胜利，他在比赛中从杆位发车，凭借一次进站策略赢得了比赛。
关注F1墨西哥大奖赛的五件事
F1本周末将前往赫尔曼诺斯·罗德里格斯赛道

本周末，F1再次回归，备受瞩目的墨西哥大奖赛即将举行，这距离基米·安东内利在奥斯汀夺冠仅过去七天。
这是梅赛德斯车手的2026赛季第九次获胜，他在一场很大程度上由策略决定的比赛中从杆位发车并完成了一站式比赛。
他在赛季第18轮的颁奖台上与两站式搭档查尔斯·勒克莱尔和马克斯·维斯塔潘一起庆祝。
目前只剩下五场比赛，所以现在是赛季的关键阶段，在赫尔曼诺斯·罗德里格斯赛道，可能会有两个冠军头衔被锁定。
所以这里有五件事情值得关注。
很可能帕斯特·马尔多纳多重返F1的机会比安东内利这个周末不成为世界冠军的机会更大。这位20岁的天才车手已经彻底摧毁了对手，在乔治·拉塞尔和刘易斯·汉密尔顿这两位最后的冠军争夺者身上分别领先123分和124分。
这是在2026赛季还剩下125分可用的情况下——前提是中东的赛事能够进行——所以这位梅赛德斯车手只需要完成第九名或更高，就能确保他首次夺冠。坦白说，他甚至有可能在墨西哥夺冠，即使没有获得积分，因为这需要拉塞尔或汉密尔顿赢得比赛，而根据目前的状态，这相当不可能。
因此，这应该是一个安东内利享受加冕之日的周末，这将是一个多么值得的时刻。从中国第二站开始，他就一直高人一等，赢得了9场比赛，15个领奖台和7个杆位，尽管在拉塞尔那边的车库里，他始终面临着挑战。
安东内利将成为F1历史上最年轻的世界冠军，比塞巴斯蒂安·维特尔在2010年创下的记录年轻三岁，而且毫无疑问，更多的冠军将紧随其后。
关于车队冠军的情况如何？
安东内利有望为梅赛德斯带来自汉密尔顿在2020赛季获得创纪录的第七冠以来，车队首次车手冠军。然而，银箭队等待车队冠军的时间要短一些，因为它的上一次冠军是在2021年，在那之后经历了四年的地面效应时代挣扎。
但正如预期的那样，梅赛德斯凭借其高效的动力单元，成功掌握了2026年的规则变化，并通过从杆位出发赢得前六个大奖赛，迅速起跑。其他车队——法拉利、麦克拉伦和红牛——随后通过安装升级和赢得自己的胜利来缩小差距，但不足以真正挑战梅赛德斯对竞争的持续优势。
因此，进入墨西哥站时，梅赛德斯领先第二名的法拉利133分，还有215分可用——这个总数将在本周末减少到172分。因此，德国品牌在墨西哥有可能赢得其第九个车队冠军——因为那里有43分可拿——但这不太可能发生。
要做到这一点，它必须比法拉利多出39分，这意味着要么是第一和第二，要么最坏的情况是第一和第三。如果梅赛德斯取得1-2的胜利，那么意大利品牌最多只能得到4分，而对于后者，法拉利不能得到超过2分的积分，这样冠军才能在墨西哥城决出。
因此，最有可能的情况是梅赛德斯在下周末的英特拉戈斯赛道赢得冠军。
红牛的两个最大问题会持续吗？
在最近几天，Motorsport.com的Ronald Vording一直在密切关注这个问题，报道了仍然困扰着红牛的两个问题。糟糕的发车和无线电上的技术问题。
从前者开始，这是红牛在2026年一直面临的问题，以至于伊萨克·哈德贾在奥斯汀表示车队需要重新设计离合器。这发生在他和队友马克斯·维斯塔潘分别在发车时分别下降了两个和一个位置之后。
至于后者，这个问题在新加坡出现，维斯塔潘也受到了影响，而哈德贾今年第一次在COTA遇到了这个问题。所以，按照目前的趋势，预计红牛将围绕这两个问题面临更多质疑，尤其是由于发车问题非常复杂，根据车队老板劳伦特·梅基斯的说法，很可能会延续到2027年。
除此之外，奥地利车队的大环境基本上是积极的，因为它现在在锦标赛中已经超过了麦凯轮，位列第三，维斯塔潘在六场大奖赛上连续登上领奖台，其中包括两次胜利。
考虑到维斯塔潘在软胎上的速度与硬胎车手相比，在奥斯汀赢得胜利的可能性不大，但他仍然能够在困难中完成领奖台，这显示了车队从2026年开始的巨大进步，当时它稳居第四。
威尔·费拉利能否在墨西哥弥补在奥斯汀的遗憾？
法拉利连续三次大奖赛都站在领奖台上，并且在过去两场比赛中击败了所有其他车队。然而，不利的一面是，它的无冠纪录已经持续到九场比赛。它看起来有望在奥斯汀结束这一干旱，但最终未能如愿。
弗雷德·瓦瑟尔在COTA周日对法拉利的评估是，法拉利除了Q3的圈速之外，一切都做得很好。那些昂贵的周六不足之处让勒克莱尔和汉密尔顿在发车线上更靠后，迫使他们在比赛中发起攻击。
勒克莱尔仍然获得了第二名，法拉利离开奥斯汀时感到鼓舞，进一步证明SF-26的竞争力不再依赖于赛道特性。然而，法拉利的传统要求不仅仅是站上领奖台。
墨西哥能否成为其2026年第三次胜利的舞台？
位于海拔2200多米的赫曼诺斯·罗德里格斯赛道提出了一个非常特别的挑战。但瓦瑟尔对这套方案充满信心，认为在任何一个周末赢得比赛和未能取胜之间的差距，取决于轮胎操作窗口和设置的细微差别。周日法拉利在墨西哥的胜利绝对不是没有可能的。
塞尔吉奥·佩雷斯300场比赛及其真正意义
超过300场比赛的里程碑是保留给一个非常特殊群体的成就，周日塞尔吉奥·佩雷斯将加入费尔南多·阿隆索、鲁本斯·巴里切罗、简森·巴顿和迈克尔·舒马赫等传奇人物。
然而，这个数字背后有着更深层的意义，或许只有墨西哥人和拉丁美洲人才能真正理解，但全世界都应该知道。达到300场大奖赛意味着‘Checo’有300次机会打破了‘付费车手’的标签——那个认为他到达赛车顶峰仅仅是因为赞助商支持的神话。
300场比赛后，瓜达拉哈拉本地人自豪地拥有世界车手冠军的亚军成绩，成为F1历史上最成功的墨西哥车手，以及与凯迪拉克的回归，这迫使许多批评他的人在2024年底从红牛车队痛苦离开后承认了他们的错误。
这次庆祝的背景并不理想。他已经不在阿赫曼诺斯·罗德里格斯赛道为领奖台而战了。在2026年，仅凭凯迪拉克完成比赛本身就将代表周末最大的胜利。
即便如此，当佩雷斯参加他的第300场比赛时，他不仅仅会在赛道上留下数字的印记。他的真正遗产在于他是推动一级方程式回归墨西哥的驱动力，并为新一代追求自己的梦想铺平了道路，正如他头盔上刻有的座右铭‘Checo’所写：‘永不放弃’。

Five things to look out for at the F1 Mexico GP
F1 heads to the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez this weekend
Charles Leclerc, Ferrari, Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari, Lando Norris, McLaren, Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing
Formula 1 is back again this weekend with the highly popular Mexico Grand Prix, which comes just seven days after Kimi Antonelli romped to victory in Austin.
That was the Mercedes driver’s ninth win of the 2026 season after dominating from pole in a race largely defined by strategy with Antonelli nailing a one-stopper.
He was joined on the podium by two-stopping duo Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen at round 18 of the season.
As things stand, there are now just five left, so it is very much the business end of the season, where two titles could be clinched at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
So here are five things to look out for.
There is probably more chance of Pastor Maldonado making an F1 return than there is Antonelli not becoming world champion this weekend. The 20-year-old sensation has obliterated the competition, holding a respective 123 and 124-point advantage over the last remaining title contenders in George Russell and Lewis Hamilton.
This is with 125 points left available in the 2026 campaign - provided the Middle Eastern rounds go ahead - so all the Mercedes driver needs to do is finish ninth or higher to clinch his maiden crown. Quite frankly, there’s a good chance he’d claim the crown in Mexico even by finishing outside of the points because it would require either Russell or Hamilton winning the race which, based on current form, is quite unlikely.
So this should be the weekend that Antonelli enjoys his coronation, and what a deserving moment it will be. From round two in China he has been a cut above, taking nine wins, 15 podiums and seven poles while never really putting a foot wrong in the W17 despite struggles being ever-present on Russell’s side of the garage.
Antonelli will become F1’s youngest world champion by three years - taking the record from Sebastian Vettel in 2010 - and there is no doubt that more crowns will follow.
What about the constructors’ title?
Antonelli is set to give Mercedes its first drivers’ title since Hamilton took a record-equalling seventh crown in the 2020 season. The Silver Arrows’ wait for a constructors’ championship is a little shorter, however, as its last came in 2021 before four years of struggle in the ground-effect era.
But, as expected, Mercedes mastered the 2026 regulation switch thanks largely to its highly efficient power unit and it came out of the blocks fast by winning the opening six grands prix from pole. Other teams - Ferrari, McLaren and Red Bull - subsequently closed the gap by fitting upgrades and taking wins of their own, but not enough to truly challenge Mercedes’ consistent superiority over the competition.
So heading into Mexico, it holds a 133-point advantage over second-placed Ferrari with 215 left available - a total that will reduce to 172 after this weekend. That does therefore make it possible for the German marque to take its ninth constructors’ title in Mexico - given there are 43 points on offer - but that is unlikely to happen.
To do so, it must outscore Ferrari by 39 points, which entails either finishing first and second or, at worst, first and third. If Mercedes takes a 1-2, then it’ll require the Italian marque scoring no more than four points while for the latter, Ferrari cannot take a return of more than two for the title to be decided in Mexico City.
So the most likely scenario is Mercedes winning the championship next weekend at Interlagos.
Will Red Bull’s two biggest issues persist?
Across recent days, Motorsport.com’s Ronald Vording has been hot on the case, reporting on two issues that are still plaguing Red Bull amid its late-season resurgence. Poor race starts and technical problems on radio.
Starting with the former, this is something that has cost Red Bull throughout 2026 and has so far culminated in Isack Hadjar claiming in Austin that the team needs to redesign its clutch. It came after both he and team-mate Max Verstappen respectively dropped two and one position at lights out.
As for the latter, this problem emerged in Singapore with Verstappen, who was also affected at COTA as was Hadjar for the first time this year. So, the way things are going, expect further questions to Red Bull surrounding these two issues, especially as the race-start problem is highly complicated and likely to continue into 2027 according to team boss Laurent Mekies.
Because outside of that, the atmosphere is largely positive at the Austrian outfit as it has now overtaken McLaren for third in the championship with Verstappen on a podium streak of six grands prix - including two victories.
Victory wasn’t likely in Austin given the pace of Verstappen on the softs compared to the hard runners, but the fact that he was still able to finish on the podium amid troubles, shows how much the team has progressed from the start of 2026, when it was firmly fourth-best.
Will Ferrari finish the job in Mexico after falling short in Austin?
Ferrari has finished on the podium at three consecutive grands prix and outscored every other team across the past two. The downside? Its winless run now stretches to nine races. It looked on course to end that drought in Austin, only to fall short.
Fred Vasseur's assessment on Sunday at COTA was that Ferrari had got everything right except its Q3 laps. Those costly Saturday shortcomings left Leclerc and Hamilton further down the grid and forced them to go on the attack in the race.
Leclerc still came away with second, and Ferrari left Austin encouraged, with further evidence that the SF-26's competitiveness is no longer dependent on circuit characteristics. Ferrari's heritage demands more than podium finishes, however.
Will Mexico provide the stage for its third victory of 2026?
At more than 2,200 metres above sea level, the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez presents a very particular challenge. But Vasseur is confident the package is working, with the difference between winning and falling short on any given weekend coming down to the fine margins of the tyre operating window and set-up. A Ferrari victory in Mexico on Sunday is certainly not out of the question.
Sergio Pérez's 300 races and what they truly mean
Surpassing the 300-race milestone in Formula 1 is an achievement reserved for a very exclusive group, and this Sunday Sergio Perez will join legends like Fernando Alonso, Rubens Barrichello, Jenson Button, and Michael Schumacher.
However, this figure carries a deeper significance that perhaps only Mexicans and Latin Americans fully grasp, but that the world needs to know. Reaching 300 Grands Prix means 300 occasions in which 'Checo' shattered the "pay driver" stigma - that myth attributing his arrival at the Pinnacle of racing solely to the backing of his sponsors.
Three hundred races later, the Guadalajara native boasts a runner-up finish in the world drivers' title, the record as the most successful Mexican driver in F1 history, and a comeback with Cadillac that forced many of his detractors to admit their mistake following his bitter exit from Red Bull at the end of 2024.
The backdrop for this celebration won't be ideal. Long gone are the days when he fought for podiums at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodríguez. In 2026, simply crossing the finish line with Cadillac will represent the biggest victory of the weekend in itself.
Even so, when Perez takes the start in his 300th race, he won't just leave his mark through numbers on the grid. His true legacy lies in having been the driving force behind Formula 1's return to Mexico and in paving the way for new generations to pursue their own dreams, guided by the motto 'Checo' has engraved on his helmet: "Never give up."
