Antonelli wins US Grand Prix in Austin, title wait continues
Kimi Antonelli won the United States Grand Prix in Austin from pole position, his ninth victory of the season, but could not clinch the Formula 1 world championship. The Mercedes driver leads George Russell by 123 points, so ninth place in Mexico City next Sunday would make him the youngest champion in F1 history at 20 years and 68 days, replacing Sebastian Vettel. Charles Leclerc finished second for Ferrari ahead of Max Verstappen, while Lewis Hamilton was fourth and Russell eighth.
