Verstappen wins, Leclerc second and Antonelli third: the Italian secures the world championship
AI-generated summary
Andrea Kimi Antonelli is leading the drivers' standings and aims to become the first Italian to win the world title since 1953.
A clear path, that of Verstappen's weekend, which combines sprint, pole position and race and wins his 73rd victory in Formula 1. Charles Leclerc, following suit, takes Ferrari to the second step of the podium, ahead of an excellent Andrea Kimi Antonelli, who takes third position and further increases his advantage over George Russell, who started from the back of the grid and "only" ninth on arrival. Now the Emilian is +102 over the Briton and in Austin, in the next GP, he will have the first match point to win the world title, which an Italian rider hasn't won since 1953.
Hamilton only sixth
The other Red of Lewis Hamilton, however, paid for an incorrect strategy and did not go beyond sixth place, behind the two McLarens of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, fourth and fifth respectively. Completing the top 10 of the day are Liam Lawson (Racing Bulls), Nico Hulkenberg (Audi) and Isack Hadjar (Red Bull). Formula 1 will return to the track in Austin on the weekend of October 25th for the United States Grand Prix.
