Race Review | 210 | 2026 United States Grand Prix | Kimi Antonelli Dominates COTA. Now Only Mexico Stands Between Him and the Title.

Kimi Antonelli won the 2026 United States Grand Prix at COTA. Joe Saward says that, barring a miracle, he will be crowned world champion at the very next race.

Ferrari looked strong all weekend and still left Austin without converting. Max Verstappen was unhappy on the radio and finished on the podium anyway. And with Mexico City next, Dick explains why altitude turns the setup puzzle upside down.

But the story Sabrina couldn’t stop thinking about was on the other side of the garage. George Russell and Oscar Piastri are proven race winners, and right now their teammates are beating them.

So she asks Dick, a championship-winning racer himself, the question most coverage skips: how does a driver at this level work through that?
