Antonelli gets another chance to seal 2026 F1 title in Mexico
Kimi Antonelli did not wrap up his first Formula 1 championship in Austin, but he remains in position to clinch it at the next round in Mexico. His United States Grand Prix victory was his ninth of the season, while Lewis Hamilton and George Russell stayed in the title picture.
Kimi Antonelli will have another opportunity to secure his first Formula 1 world championship at the Mexican Grand Prix after the title fight remained unresolved in Austin. Multiple reports said he is increasingly close to the 2026 crown.
At the United States Grand Prix, the 20-year-old started from pole position and converted it into his ninth win of the season. However, Lewis Hamilton finished fourth and George Russell was eighth, which kept Antonelli from sealing the championship there.
The result means the battle continues for at least one more round, with Mexico now the next chance for Antonelli to clinch the title.
