Kimi Antonelli took pole position for the United States Grand Prix on the weekend on which he can potentially clinch his first world title.

he → take → title
The Mercedes driver beat Red Bull's Max Verstappen by 0.179 seconds, with the Dutchman's team-mate Isack Hadjar third ahead of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton.
asserted
mate → beat → Leclerc
Antonelli whooped with delight as he took his first pole position since the Belgian Grand Prix in July and said: "It feels good to be back."
The 20-year-old Italian will become world champion on Sunday if he wins the race with Hamilton lower than fourth and Russell lower than eighth.

Russell → whoop → eighth
Hamilton is already below that position having qualified fifth, while Russell will start sixth ahead of the McLarens of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris.
asserted
Russell → qualify → Piastri
Antonelli's pole came as something of a surprise after the Ferraris had topped all three practice sessions and Verstappen had looked strong through the second part of qualifying.
asserted
Verstappen → come → qualifying
"I wasn't expecting that," said Antonelli's engineer Peter Bonnington, emphasising that his charge's first lap in final qualifying was good enough for pole.
asserted
lap → expect → pole
Verstappen had been fourth quickest in Q2 despite being on used tyres but he found his car lacked the requisite grip in the final session.
asserted
car → use → session
Antonelli said: "We got pole so we will try to win tomorrow but Max has been very quick and Isack did an incredible job so it is not going to be easy.
asserted
it → say → job
"We try to get a good start and hopefully lead into Turn One and try to set the pace, even if it is going to be very tight."
asserted
it → try → pace
Verstappen said: "Q3 was not good, Q1, Q2 were nice but for whatever reason in run one and two just didn't have a nice balance.
asserted
Q1 → say → balance
But if it's still a P2, I take it."
asserted
I → take → it
Hadjar was just 0.036secs behind the four-time champion while the Ferraris faded when it mattered, as they have so many times this season.

they → fade → champion
Leclerc, fastest in second and third practice, was 0.232secs off the pace and pipped Hamilton by just 0.044secs.
asserted
Leclerc → pip → 0.044secs
Russell was 0.441secs off his team-mate while the fastest McLaren was 0.768secs from pole despite an upgrade for this weekend as Norris' best lap time was deleted for breaching track limits.
asserted
time → delete → limits
The Racing Bulls of Arvid Lindblad and Liam Lawson took ninth and 10th places but the Briton will be demoted five places because of a penalty for using too many engine parts.
asserted
Briton → take → parts
