Show Notes
Kimi Antonelli moved closer to the Formula 1 world championship with victory at the United States Grand Prix, putting himself within touching distance of a historic title ahead of the Mexican Grand Prix.
In this week’s race review, we examine how Antonelli and Mercedes delivered in Austin, why Charles Leclerc secured second for Ferrari, and how Max Verstappen completed the podium. We also assess Lewis Hamilton’s race, McLaren’s strategic decisions, and the struggles faced by Oscar Piastri and George Russell.
Elsewhere, we look at the midfield battle, Williams’ ongoing difficulties and the debate surrounding track limits at Circuit of The Americas. With the championship potentially reaching its conclusion in Mexico, we consider what Antonelli needs to do to seal the title.
