Antonelli says US Grand Prix title chance would be a dream
Kimi Antonelli says winning his first Formula 1 world title at this weekend’s United States Grand Prix would be a dream. The championship leader says he will aim to enjoy the occasion, but knows he may need a perfect weekend and some outside help to seal the crown at Circuit of the Americas.
Antonelli heads into the United States Grand Prix with his first opportunity to secure the 2026 Formula 1 world championship. The 20-year-old series leader is also in contention to become the youngest world champion in F1 history.
Speaking before the weekend, Antonelli said wrapping up his maiden title in Austin would be a dream. He also said he wants to "just have fun" and "finish the job properly" as he approaches the event.
Antonelli said a perfect weekend may be needed to achieve that outcome. Reports also noted that clinching the title at Circuit of the Americas would depend in part on outside help.
