Kimi Antonelli jokes avoiding track limits his “biggest achievement” after US GP pole

Andrea Kimi Antonelli secured a surprise pole position at the United States Grand Prix, humorously noting that his ability to stay within track limits was his primary accomplishment of the day. The Mercedes driver edged out Max Verstappen during the qualifying session at COTA.

This performance puts the 20-year-old in a position to potentially claim the world championship this weekend, provided he wins the race and his teammates Lewis Hamilton and George Russell finish in fifth and ninth or lower, respectively. Antonelli credited the team's recent technical upgrades for the improved handling of his car, particularly in medium and high-speed corners.
