{"id":1250,"section":"sports","section_label":"Sports","url":"https://www.brokenews.co/sports/1250","headline":"Antonelli wins US Grand Prix but title has to wait","dek":"The 20-year-old took pole and the win in Austin, his ninth of the season, but results behind him kept the championship fight alive for another week.","body":"Kimi Antonelli delivered another dominant performance at the United States Grand Prix, converting pole position into his ninth win of the season. It was the kind of drive that has defined his year, but it was not quite enough to wrap up the championship in Austin.\n\nLewis Hamilton finished fourth and George Russell came home eighth, results that were just good enough to keep both of them mathematically alive in the title fight for at least one more race.\n\nThat means the coronation moves to Mexico City. Antonelli now gets his next shot at the title at the Mexican Grand Prix, where the math is straightforward: if he finishes in the top nine, he is champion, regardless of what Hamilton or Russell do that day.\n\nShould Mexico not settle it, there is still plenty of season left to sort things out, with Brazil, Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi still to come and a maximum of 100 points still up for grabs after Mexico. For now, Antonelli heads to Mexico City as the overwhelming favorite to close things out, needing just one more solid finish to become a world champion at 20.","published_at":"2026-10-25T22:49:23.204435+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Antonelli wins US GP but made to wait for title","url":"https://www.espn.com/f1/story/_/id/50250088/kimi-antonelli-united-states-grand-prix-formula-1-title"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"How Kimi Antonelli can clinch his maiden F1 championship in Mexico","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/kimi-antonelli-clinch-maiden-f1-221748196.html"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"U.S. Grand Prix briefing: Kimi Antonelli dominates to move closer to maiden F1 title","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7724307/2026/10/25/us-grand-prix-briefing-kimi-antonelli-wins/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Antonelli storms to US Grand Prix pole on weekend he can take title","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/antonelli-storms-pole-us-grand-222128138.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"How can Kimi Antonelli win the 2026 F1 title at the US Grand Prix today?","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/kimi-antonelli-win-2026-f1-122413796.html"},{"outlet":"SB Nation","publisher":"SB Nation","title":"United States Grand Prix: Kimi Antonelli wins but an F1 title has to wait","url":"https://www.sbnation.com/formula-one/1133672/united-states-grand-prix-results"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Antonelli wins in US but has to wait to secure title","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/antonelli-wins-us-wait-secure-215237448.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"F1 United States GP: Kimi Antonelli takes dominant victory - but no title","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/f1-united-states-gp-kimi-214801863.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"United States Grand Prix: Kimi Antonelli wins but an F1 title has to wait","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/united-states-grand-prix-kimi-214435161.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Antonelli wins US Grand Prix to close on world title","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/antonelli-wins-us-grand-prix-220205412.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Antonelli wins US Grand Prix, but maiden F1 title must wait","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/antonelli-wins-us-grand-prix-221834029.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Kimi Antonelli Dominates United States Grand Prix to Claim Ninth Win of the Season","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/kimi-antonelli-dominates-united-states-223352311.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Antonelli aims to complete his F1 title march in style in Mexico City","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/antonelli-aims-complete-f1-title-234939687.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Antonelli delivers 'the race of a champion who isn't the champion yet'","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/antonelli-delivers-race-champion-isnt-012909767.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://a3.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2026%2F1025%2Fr1736161_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg","credit":"ESPN","width":1296},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
