Kimi Antonelli has his first chance to clinch the Formula 1 world title at the United States Grand Prix. He must extend his lead over George Russell to 126 points in Austin, from 102 now — a 24-point increase.
The United States Grand Prix is the 18th round of the season, with the weekend at Circuit of the Americas scheduled for October 23–25.
If he does not reach that margin, Antonelli’s next opportunity comes at the Mexico City Grand Prix on November 1.
