Kimi Antonelli won the United States Grand Prix and moved close to securing the Formula 1 world championship. He can clinch the title in Mexico City next weekend if he finishes ninth or better, with the required result depending on whether George Russell or Lewis Hamilton wins.
Key Facts
Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff called Antonelli’s Austin drive his best performance so far.
Antonelli’s victory put him in a position to secure the championship at the next race in Mexico City.
Russell must win in Mexico for Antonelli to miss the title if Antonelli finishes ninth; if Hamilton wins, Antonelli must finish 10th or better to clinch it.
Russell finished eighth in Austin after receiving a five-second penalty, while Hamilton finished fourth.
Antonelli said his Austin performance was stronger in execution than his win at Monza, where he started 19th.
Mercedes introduced an upgraded car specification in Malaysia two races before Austin; Wolff said at the time that it had made the car slower by about 0.3 seconds per lap.
