0.001! Norris narrowly beats Antonelli in Mexico practice
A duel between the champion and the aspiring world champion ends in Norris' favor in final practice. Qualifying could be a thriller.
It could hardly be closer!
Lando Norris secures the fastest time in the third free practice session ahead of qualifying for the Mexican Grand Prix.
The Brit finishes just 0.001 seconds ahead of Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes). Charles Leclerc (Ferrari/+0.117) takes second place.
Max Verstappen finishes only in P5 after his grid penalty due to the "internal" duel with Liam Lawson and braking problems.
Antonelli on the verge of coronation
