Motorsport: Antonelli could become F1’s youngest world champion as early as this weekend

# Motorsport: Italian Kimi Antonelli can win his first Formula One drivers’ championship title as early as this weekend at the United States Grand Prix. The Mercedes driver has increased his lead at the top of the championship to 102 points, with his British teammate George Russell second and Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton, also from Britain, third. To win the title in Austin, Antonelli needs to win the race and hope both Russell and Hamilton do not score sufficient points to stay within 124 points of him going to Mexico.
