Antonelli names track limits as biggest issue after Austin win

After winning the United States Grand Prix, Kimi Antonelli said track limits had been the biggest issue of his 2026 season and listed mistakes he wants to learn from.

At the post-race press conference, the Mercedes driver cited an error in third practice in Australia, a poorly executed start in Japan and points he said he threw away through track limits in the Miami sprint. He also said he wanted to improve his mindset in certain situations and in some qualifying sessions.

Max Verstappen joked that Antonelli had only one track-limits infringement in Austin. Antonelli agreed there had been only one that day and said it had been a good day.

Antonelli said the season was not over and he still wanted to fight for wins. His Austin victory from pole was his ninth grand prix win of 2026; a top-nine finish at the upcoming Mexican Grand Prix would let him clinch the championship.
