F1 in Texas: The American race that fans love to attend

Formula 1 returned to the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, this weekend. Audi's racing director, Allan McNish, said the team is focused on a long-term plan running to 2030. Audi, in its first year as an official constructor, is working on aerodynamic upgrades and power unit reliability. Kimi Antonelli won the race comfortably, extending his lead in the championship. Audi's drivers finished just outside the points after a penalty and a poor start.

Antonelli wins in US but must wait one more week for F1 world championship

Kimi Antonelli won the United States Grand Prix from pole position, all but sealing his maiden F1 drivers' championship. The 20-year-old Mercedes driver finished more than 13 seconds clear of his rivals. Antonelli leads George Russell by 123 points and Lewis Hamilton by 124, with 125 points still available from the final five rounds. Antonelli can clinch the title at the Mexico City Grand Prix next week with a ninth-place finish or better, unless Russell or Hamilton wins the race. Charles Leclerc finished second and Max Verstappen third.
