Antonelli clinches US Grand Prix pole, extends championship lead
Kimi Antonelli secured pole position for the United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas, extending his points advantage in the drivers' championship. The pole puts him in contention to win the title if he finishes ahead of Lewis Hamilton and George Russell.
Earlier, RacingNews365 noted that Antonelli entered the first free-practice session in Austin with a 102-point lead, meaning a victory on could clinch the championship. Formula 1 quoted the Mercedes driver saying that winning the race would secure his first Formula 1 title, but would require a flawless weekend and his rivals to finish lower down the order.
