Antonelli simply won, just an arm's reach away from the world championship title

Andrea Kimi Antonelli won the United States Grand Prix, but he needs just two points in Mexico to secure the championship. Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen closely followed him, while George Russell faced a time penalty for exceeding track limits. Antonelli's victory was not enough for the title as Russell and Hamilton finished in positions that prevented him from clinching it. The race saw early pit stops and strategic maneuvers, with Antonelli maintaining the lead throughout. The current standings show Antonelli leading the drivers' championship with 365 points, followed by Russell and Hamilton.
