Kimi Antonelli has emerged as the clear favourite for the 2026 Formula 1 world championship. The Mercedes driver not only holds a substantial points lead but also displays a level of performance that seems to improve with each passing week. In the latest issue of Autosport magazine, Antonelli's rise and his quest to end Italy's long wait for an F1 champion take centre stage.
His remarkable victory from 19th on the grid at Monza was a testament to his patience and speed. While strategy played into his hands, the win must have been a psychological blow to George Russell. The Briton now faces the toughest challenge: consistently outperforming Antonelli or hoping for a stroke of bad luck to befall the Italian.
Any improvement from Mercedes will benefit both drivers, but if McLaren, Ferrari, or Red Bull can find a technical edge, the gap could shrink. Lando Norris, Lewis Hamilton, and Max Verstappen are all capable of stringing together wins, especially with team-mate support. Jake Boxall-Legge explores this dynamic in the issue.
Beyond Antonelli, the October issue celebrates 60 years of Can-Am, the legendary sportscar series that briefly outpaced F1. Pete Lyons, Autosport's Can-Am reporter from that era, reflects on what made it special, including McLaren's unbeatable run. Gary Watkins argues that the championship's second era deserves attention too.
The magazine also examines the role of reserve drivers, features an interview with Honda's chief engineer Shintaro Orihara on Aston Martin's engine struggles, and hears from the WRC's new promoters about their vision. BTCC debriefs from Donington Park and Croft cover Ash Sutton's charge to a fifth title.
With comprehensive coverage from F1 to club racing, Autosport remains essential reading for motorsport fans. Get the latest issue and stay tuned for more thrilling racing action.
