Title race moves to Austin

The Italian driver finished behind Max Verstappen in a race controlled by Red Bull. He now leads teammate George Russell by 102 points with six rounds remaining. Antonelli will secure the title if he wins in Texas while his rivals finish outside specific positions.

Driver admits need for reset

Antonelli stated that his performance this weekend was not particularly good. He feels confident that a week to reset will help him perform better next time. The team plans to exploit recent upgrades when they return to the track.

Historic milestone within reach

Winning the crown would make Antonelli the youngest champion in history at age 20. This victory would also mark Italy's first title since 1953. The driver acknowledged that his childhood ambition of becoming a champion is now close.
