Antonelli wins US GP, one step from youngest F1 title

–

Neutral summary

Kimi Antonelli won the United States Grand Prix in Austin, taking his ninth victory of the season and moving to the brink of his first Formula One world championship. The 20-year-old Mercedes driver could not seal the title at the first race where it was mathematically possible, but he extended his championship lead to 123 points. At the Mexican Grand Prix on 1 November, he needs to finish ninth or higher to secure the crown, even if teammate George Russell wins the race. A title would make Antonelli the youngest champion in F1 history, surpassing Sebastian Vettel, who was 23 when he won his first title in 2010, and the first Italian champion since Alberto Ascari in 1953. At the US GP, Russell finished eighth and Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton fourth. Antonelli said his mindset would not change: “I'm very aware that it's very close, but the mindset doesn't change. The best way, the perfect way, would be to finish in style and then just enjoy the rest of the season.” Italian tennis player Jannik Sinner, a friend of the driver, congratulated him on social media, calling him “fortissimo”. The race in Mexico will be held at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.
