Kimi Antonelli secured his ninth victory of the 2026 season, dominating the United States Grand Prix from pole. This remarkable performance leaves him just one win away from becoming Formula 1's youngest ever world champion. Initially, six drivers - Antonelli, George Russell, Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, and Lando Norris - were mathematically capable of clinching the championship, with 139 points separating them.
However, Verstappen, Leclerc, and Norris have since dropped out due to their respective third, second, and fifth-place finishes. For Antonelli to become champion at the Circuit of the Americas, he must win the race while Russell finishes ninth or below, and Hamilton takes fifth place. However, as his teammate secured the eighth position and Leclerc finished fourth, the fight continues until next weekend.
With five rounds remaining, consisting of Mexico, Sao Paulo, Las Vegas, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi, the competition is far from over.
