Kimi Antonelli starts from pole position in the United States Grand Prix / He has a chance to become the youngest champion in F1 history

Kimi Antonelli will start from pole position in the United States Grand Prix after recording the fastest time in qualifying held on Saturday. The Mercedes driver thus has first place on the starting grid for Sunday’s race and the chance to make history in Formula 1.

The 20-year-old Italian could become the youngest world champion in the history of the competition if he manages to win the title. His qualifying performance gives him a significant advantage, but the final result will depend on how the race unfolds and on the performance of his rivals.

Max Verstappen, the Red Bull driver, finished second and will start from the front row. His teammate, Isack Hadjar, recorded the third-fastest time and will occupy third place on the starting grid.

Charles Leclerc, of Ferrari, will start from fourth place. Qualifying determined the starting order for Sunday’s race, in which Antonelli will try to turn pole position into a victory and strengthen his bid for the world title.
