Motorsport: Verstappen hopes to ruin Antonelli’s party in Austin this weekend

# Motorsport: Red Bulls’ four-time Formula One world champion, Dutch driver Max Verstappen, is intent on preventing Mercedes’ Italian ace, Kimi Antonelli, from clinching the drivers’ championship in this weekend’s American Grand Prix in Texas. Verstappen won the previous two races in Malaysia and Singapore, and is currently fourth in the standings behind Mercedes’ British driver, George Russell, and another Britain, Lewis Hamilton of Ferrari. He trails Antonelli by 119 points and mathematically still has a go at the title, with five races left after the weekend’s in Austin.
