Antonelli closing in on Formula 1 history

Kimi Antonelli, a 20-year-old Italian Mercedes driver, enters the United States Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas with a chance to clinch the Formula One World Championship. If Antonelli wins and specific rivals — including teammate George Russell and Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton — finish poorly, he would become the youngest champion in F1 history and the first Italian champion since Alberto Ascari in 1953. Antonelli showed strong pace in Friday practice, finishing second-fastest behind Charles Leclerc.
