Kimi Antonelli Plans to ‘Bombard’ Himself With Melatonin Before F1 Title Shot

Andrea Kimi Antonelli says he had a high fever and stomach problems before the F1 Mexico GP, where he can clinch the title, and plans to “bombard” himself with melatonin to get some sleep. After an outside chance in Austin, Mercedes’ Antonelli has a real chance to win the 2026 F1 drivers’ championship in the Mexico GP. On Sunday, he could be crowned the youngest champion, surpassing Sebastian Vettel’s record. But it hasn’t been the start he wanted to one of the most important weekends of his career. On Thursday, he was forced to skip media duties due to illness.
