Kimi Antonelli wins US GP and moves closer to world title
Kimi Antonelli won the United States Grand Prix in Austin on Sunday 25 October 2026 but must wait until next week to secure the championship.
Dominant victory at Circuit of the Americas
Antonelli took pole position and converted it into a commanding win using a one-stop strategy. He finished ahead of Charles Leclerc in second place and Max Verstappen in third. The 20-year-old driver completed his ninth victory of the season with this result.
Teammates keep title fight alive
George Russell finished eighth while Lewis Hamilton recovered to take fourth place at the end of the race. These results meant Antonelli could not yet clinch the crown despite his lead in the standings. He now leads Russell by 123 points and Hamilton by 124 points.
