F1i Driver Ratings for the 2026 Mexico City States Grand Prix

Charles Leclerc, Ferrari (P4) – 5/10

A completely self-inflicted messy afternoon. An illegal Lap 1 move on his teammate earned him a time penalty, while a massive lock-up at the restart destroyed his tyre strategy and left him defenseless. Ferrari had the car to dominate; Leclerc ensured they barely sniffed the podium.

Kimi Antonelli, Mercedes (P3) – 7/10

He didn't need to win; he just needed to execute. Driven with unbelievable composure, the 20-year-old launched a sharp pass on Leclerc post-restart to seal P3. Tears flooded his visor at the chequered flag as he became World Champion in only his second season. The coronation is complete.
