Formula 1 descends on Circuit of the Americas for the United States Grand Prix, the second of three races in the USA this season.
Kimi Antonelli is on the brink of the title following his podium finish in Singapore.
The Italian will be crowned champion should he win in Austin, provided George Russell finishes ninth or lower and Lewis Hamilton crosses the line in fifth or below.
Despite a recent upturn in form, Max Verstappen could finish second to Antonelli and it would still rule him out of the running.
The battle to finish as runner up in the F1 World Drivers Championship is intense though, Russell and Lando Norris (currently sixth) are separated by just 37 points -- with Hamilton, Verstappen and Charles Leclerc all within that gap.
