美国大奖赛五大看点
安东内利再次展现大师级表现，基米·安东内利在德克萨斯州夺冠，这是他自夏季斯帕以来首次获得杆位，并在两个轮胎配方上展现出强大的速度。
基米·安东内利又赢了一场——现在他几乎可以确定在墨西哥夺冠了。

基米·安东内利在德克萨斯州夺冠的可能性从来不大——需要太多事情同时发生。但他尽力了，完美地度过了一个周末。这是他自夏天斯帕以来第一次获得杆位，随后又以干净的比赛和两种轮胎配方上的强劲速度赢得了胜利。在这个充满精彩表现的赛季中，他又一次展现了大师级的表现。
他在奥斯汀并不急需获胜。冠军实际上已经属于他很长时间了，现在只是个形式。除非发生一些非常规的事情，否则安东内利现在不可能失去冠军。
他无可置疑地出色——现在他很可能在墨西哥正式结束冠军争夺战，这将是他的第一个冠军，也是他未来许多冠军中的第一个，创造历史。
梅赛德斯不得不耐心等待，但它似乎最终在马来西亚巴林大奖赛推出的升级套件中释放了潜力……至少在车库里的一侧。
布拉克利车队为雪邦带来了全面的套件，使W17本身更快，但给车手们留下了更窄的设置窗口。对赛车行为不满意，拉塞尔在新加坡回归到之前的规格，为梅赛德斯提供了两个套件之间的直接比较。
安东内利和拉塞尔在奥斯汀进行了升级测试，这与他们在新加坡进行的测试以及本周末的比赛有关。
安东内利驾驶着W17赛车，提出了一个不同的方案。这位意大利人在周六的比赛中获得了他八年来在大奖赛中的第一个杆位，从周日灯光熄灭的那一刻起，他就朝着胜利的方向前进。
拉塞尔现在必须开始担心2027年了。
虽然乔治·拉塞尔在数学上仍然有机会争夺今年的冠军，但实际上这毫无意义——只要拉塞尔不赢得比赛，基米·安东内利下周日就能锁定冠军。所以，可能是时候让乔治专注于为2027年找到正确的答案了。
在此之前，他的职业生涯几乎是完美的，赢得了所有最重要的青训系列赛，并在与像刘易斯·汉密尔顿这样难以对付的对手同在一辆赛车中证明了自己的实力。看起来他唯一缺少的就是一辆赛车。但就在他终于得到它的时候，一个不可阻挡的力量，一个年轻的卷发意大利人，破坏了一切。
拉塞尔现在需要做出反应——并且尽可能地彻底为下一年做准备。无论是他的驾驶技术还是其他因素阻止了他与安东内利的速度相匹配，他都需要利用2026年剩余的赛事找到尽可能多的答案，或者甚至尝试不同的方法。
因为像奥斯汀这样的周末就展示了梅赛德斯车队队友之间性能差距的巨大。拉塞尔在状态好的时候可以击败基米，但这样的低谷，他未来将无法持续地挑战他。
作为别人的副手度过职业生涯肯定不是拉塞尔梦寐以求的——但这样的周末之后，这个前景看起来越来越现实。
劳森在舞台和赛道上都击中了正确的音符。
劳森在周四晚上的奥斯汀舞台上表现出色，尽管他承认在‘世界音乐之都’表演比在一级方程式大奖赛上比赛带来了‘十倍的压力’。
他以从容的态度接受了这一点，并在驾驶座上又展现了一次自信的表现——这在2026年已经变得司空见惯。
小红牛车队的车手在周五以第六快的成绩起步，然后在周六进行了团队游戏，在Q3期间留在维修区，以帮助队友Arvid Lindblad避免在五罚位的基础上再失去一个发车位。
周日，劳森如预期地带领车队的中游车手完成了比赛。第九名是所有八辆来自前四支车队的车辆所能达到的最佳成绩，但他的本赛季第13个积分帮助小红牛车队进一步拉大了与阿尔派的差距，而阿尔派车队在 constructors' championship 中获得第五的希望正在逐渐消失。
越来越难以相信这个人明年还没有合同。
威廉姆斯车队在2025年一直强调其重点是2026年，但仍然设法获得了两个领奖台。然而，在2026年，车队一次又一次地令人失望。解释是，它将所有的鸡蛋都放在了一个篮子里，一个重大升级包计划在巴库到来。威廉姆斯在阿塞拜疆获得了积分——这是它在过去12场比赛中仅能实现一次的事情——但升级最终证明不如预期有效。
奥斯汀可能已经达到了新低，威廉姆斯车队在排位赛中仅领先凯迪拉克，甚至在拉恩斯·斯特罗尔的阿斯顿·马丁之后。车队一直是Q1退出的明显候选人，正如最终证明的那样，而在比赛中，它被困在无人地带，甚至远离中游的战斗。
赛季剩余部分——无论是五场比赛、四场还是剩下的任何数量——对威廉姆斯来说看起来都将是一个漫长的赛季，车队再次承诺2027年将更好。

Another win for Kimi Antonelli – with the Italian now almost certain to clinch the title in Mexico.
Andrea Kimi Antonelli, Mercedes, Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing, Charles Leclerc, Ferrari
Kimi Antonelli was never likely to clinch the title in Texas – too many things needed to fall into place. But he did everything he could, delivering a perfect weekend. His first pole since Spa in the middle of the summer, followed by a commanding victory – with a clean start and strong pace on both tyre compounds. Another masterclass in a season full of them.
He didn't desperately need to win in Austin. The title has effectively been his for a long time, and now it's just a formality. Something extraordinary would need to happen for Antonelli to lose the title now.
He's exceptional, there's no doubt left – and it's now more than likely he'll officially wrap up the championship, his first of surely many more to come, in Mexico. History in the making.
Mercedes has had to be patient, but it finally appears to have unlocked the potential of the upgrade package it introduced at the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia… at least on one side of the garage.
The Brackley squad brought a comprehensive package to Sepang that made the W17 intrinsically quicker, but left its drivers with a narrower set-up window. Unhappy with the car's behaviour, Russell reverted to the previous specification in Singapore, giving Mercedes a direct comparison between the two packages.
Both Antonelli and Russell ran the upgrades in Austin, along with a front wing Mercedes had already trialled in Singapore with this weekend in mind.
With Antonelli at the wheel, the W17 was a different proposition. The Italian secured his first pole position in eight grands prix on Saturday and was on course for victory from the moment the lights went out on Sunday.
Russell must start worrying about 2027 now
While George Russell is still mathematically in contention for this year's title, it effectively means nothing – Kimi Antonelli will clinch the championship next Sunday as long as Russell doesn't win the race. So it's probably time for George to focus on finding the right answers for 2027.
Until this season, he'd had a near-perfect career, winning all the most important junior series before proving himself against as tough an opponent as you can get – Lewis Hamilton in the same garage. It looked like the only thing he lacked was the car. But just when he finally got it, an unstoppable force in the form of a young, curly-haired Italian spoiled everything.
Russell needs to react now – and prepare for next year as thoroughly as possible. Whether it's his driving or something else that's preventing him from matching Antonelli's pace, he needs to use the remaining races of 2026 to find as many answers as possible, or perhaps even experiment with different approaches.
Because weekends like Austin show just how staggering the performance gap between the Mercedes team-mates can be. Russell can beat Kimi on a good day, but with lows this deep, he won't be able to challenge him consistently in the future.
A career spent as someone's wingman is surely not what Russell dreamed of – but that prospect looks increasingly realistic after weekends like this.
Lawson hits the right notes on stage and on track
Lawson acquitted himself well on stage in Austin on Thursday night, despite admitting that performing in the Live Music Capital of the World brought "ten times more pressure" than racing in a Formula 1 grand prix.
Having taken that in his stride, he delivered another assured performance behind the wheel — something that has become a familiar sight in 2026.
The Racing Bulls driver started strongly with the sixth-fastest time on Friday, then played the team game on Saturday, staying in the garage during Q3 to spare team-mate Arvid Lindblad a further grid position on top of his five-place penalty.
On Sunday, Lawson duly led the midfield home. Ninth was the best available with all eight cars from the leading four teams reaching the finish, but his 13th points finish of the season helped Racing Bulls pull further clear of Alpine, whose hopes of claiming fifth in the constructors' championship are fading.
It's increasingly hard to believe this guy still doesn't have a contract for next year.
Williams spent 2025 insisting that its focus was entirely on 2026, yet still managed to score two podiums. In 2026, however, the team has disappointed time and again. The explanation was that it was putting all its eggs in one basket with a major upgrade package scheduled to arrive in Baku. Williams scored points in Azerbaijan – something it has only managed once in its last 12 races – but the upgrade ultimately proved less effective than hoped.
Austin may have marked a new low, with Williams finishing ahead of only Cadillac and even trailing Lance Stroll's Aston Martin. The team was always a clear candidate for a Q1 exit in qualifying, as ultimately proved to be the case, while in the race it was stranded in no man's land, well off even the midfield battle.
The remainder of the season – whether five races, four or however many are left – looks set to be a long one for Williams, which is once again promising that 2027 will be better.
