Kimi Antonelli is to miss Thursday's Mexico City Grand Prix media day with an illness as he stands on the brink of clinching his first world title.
asserted
he → publish → title
The Italian's Mercedes team said that Antonelli had a "viral illness" and had been excused his duties on Thursday by governing body the FIA "as a precaution to give him the chance to rest ahead of the weekend".
asserted
Antonelli → say → weekend
A Mercedes spokesperson said: "We expect him to be back tomorrow."
Practice for the race starts on Friday at 18:30 GMT.
Antonelli will seal the championship, and become the youngest winner in Formula 1 history, as long as he does not lose more than two points to team-mate George Russell and one point to Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton in the grand prix on Sunday.
The only way he could be stopped from tying up the title is if one of Russell and Hamilton wins.
uncertain
one → say → Russell
Ninth would be enough for Antonelli to become champion if it is Russell, and 10th if it is Hamilton.
asserted
it → become → ?
Antonelli is one of two drivers to miss media day with an illness.
asserted
Antonelli → miss → illness
The other is Cadillac's Valtteri Bottas, who his team said was "unwell".

team → say → ?
A Cadillac spokesperson said: "The team has taken the decision to allow him a day of rest, to support his recovery.

team → say → recovery
"This is a precautionary measure and does not currently affect his participation in the remainder of the race weekend.

On Wednesday, Cadillac announced a new contract for the Finn's team-mate Sergio Perez, who will stay with the team until at least 2029.
asserted
who → announce → 2029
They made no mention of Bottas' future in the announcement, and are said by insiders to be considering whether to promote their American reserve driver Colton Herta into F1.
asserted
They → make → F1
Herta is having his fifth outing of the year in practice on Friday at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, as the team seek to earn him enough mileage to secure the so-called super licence that is required to race in F1.
asserted
that → have → F1
Herta, previously a front-runner in the US-based Indycar championship, moved to Formula 2 this year with the intention of preparing himself for F1.
asserted
Herta → base → F1
His season has not gone well and he is currently 19th in the standings with a best result of fifth place.

he → go → place
However, Cadillac feel he has shown more potential in his F1 outings, which also include a number of runs in cars from previous years.
asserted
which → feel → years
No decision has been made on whether Bottas or Herta will partner Perez in 2027.
asserted
Bottas → make → 2027
