Merc boss on Antonelli: 'Race of a champion'

Kimi Antonelli, 20, won the United States Grand Prix in Austin for his ninth victory of the season, converting pole position into a race win despite starting on the inferior medium tyre. Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff praised the performance as 'the race of a champion who isn't a champion yet.' Antonelli narrowly missed clinching the world title as Lewis Hamilton finished fourth and George Russell eighth, meaning he must finish at least ninth at the Mexican Grand Prix to secure the championship.
