Antonelli's Austin Win Puts the F1 Title One Race Away

[THE WIN] Every lap in Austin.

• On Sunday in Austin, Texas, 20 -year -old Kimi Antonelli started from pole, led all 56 laps of the United States Grand Prix, and won by 13 seconds.
• It was his ninth win of the season.

[THE MATH] The title can wait.

• He still left Texas without the championship.
• His teammate George Russell finished eighth and Lewis Hamilton fourth, just high enough to keep the title race alive for one more week.

[THE HILL] A climb you can't see on TV.

• On television, it's hard to tell how steep this track's hill is.
• The circuit climbs about 133 feet, most of it on the run from the start up to a blind first corner, where Red Bull's Max Verstappen briefly lost second place on the opening lap.

[THE TRACK] Built for racing.

• The track sits on ranchland, southeast of Austin.
• Unlike a street circuit, which closes off city roads for a weekend, it was built just for racing, with 20 turns.

[THE LEAD] Third-biggest since 2010.

• Antonelli now leads by 123 points with five races left, the third-biggest lead at this stage since 2010.
• Since then, every driver who led by more than 20 points with five races to go has gone on to win the title.

[NEXT: MEXICO] One race away.

• Next Sunday in Mexico City, a top-nine finish makes him the youngest world champion in Formula One history, and the first Italian champion since 1953.
