  "account": "Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli expressed his ambition of winning a historic Formula One title at the upcoming race in Austin, Texas. Following his 14th podium finish of the season at the Singapore Grand Prix, the 20-year-old ensured his lead over teammate George Russell increased to 102 points. Despite finishing third in Singapore, Antonelli acknowledged the championship race is tight and he must continue to perform at his best. He admitted that while he hasn't driven superbly at the recent race in Singapore, he remains confident of being back in Austin. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff, however, cautioned against expecting a quick title win, stating that it would require other contenders like George Russell and Lewis Hamilton to retire. The team is optimistic that the new car, after some teething problems, will offer better performance and a different setup philosophy.",
