Antonelli wins US Grand Prix but title waits
Kimi Antonelli won the United States Grand Prix from Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen but fell short of clinching the Formula One championship, four outlets reported. The 20-year-old Mercedes driver now needs two more points to secure his first title and become the sport’s youngest world champion at the next race in Mexico.
Why it matters
Antonelli’s dominant victory puts a historic championship within reach while delaying the celebration by one race.
