Kimi Antonelli Wins US Grand Prix, Nears 2026 Formula 1 Drivers' Championship
Kimi Antonelli won the 2026 United States Grand Prix, marking his ninth victory of the season and extending his lead in the Formula 1 Drivers' Championship. Starting from pole, Antonelli executed a strategic one-stop race to finish over 13 seconds ahead of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, with Max Verstappen third. Despite the win, Antonelli did not clinch the title as Lewis Hamilton and George Russell finished fourth and eighth, respectively. Antonelli now needs just two points at the next race in Mexico to secure the championship and become the youngest F1 world champion.
