Antonelli tops Sao Paulo practice as Mercedes eye lead

Kimi Antonelli finished Friday fastest in the Sao Paulo Grand Prix build-up, a week after clinching his maiden World Championship. He narrowly missed topping Free Practice 1, sitting 0.082s behind Lando Norris, before setting the fastest time in the second session.

The margins between the leading four teams are described as very fine, leaving open whether Mercedes can keep their rivals at bay as the weekend progresses.
