Kimi Antonelli starts the US Grand Prix on pole with a chance to clinch the F1 title
Autosport reported Ferrari failed to get either car into the top three after the pole battle had looked like being between Verstappen and Ferrari.[8] The Guardian reported he clinches the title if he wins, with George Russell outside the top eight and Lewis Hamilton outside the top positions.[1] Live coverage showed Antonelli leading the race, which The Guardian said started at 3pm CDT over 56 laps.[1, 25, 33]
Circuit of the Americas boss Bobby Epstein rejected Verstappen's criticism of the track surface, saying the bumps had been fixed but conceding a dip at Turn 1 is a genuine problem.[20] The Guardian also reported Lance Stroll will start from the pit lane after setup changes.[1]
