Kimi Antonelli secured pole position for the United States Grand Prix after Saturday’s qualifying session, according to Reuters. The 20‑year‑old Mercedes‑DTM driver will start the race from the front of the grid, potentially becoming the youngest Formula 1 world champion if he wins the title. Max Verstappen of Red Bull qualified second, with his teammate Isack Hadjar in third place. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc took the fourth spot on the grid. The qualifying results set the stage for a high‑profile showdown at the Circuit of the Americas, where Antonelli will aim to capitalize on his pole advantage and challenge the established front‑row contenders.
