Kimi Antonelli has raced the United States Grand Prix once and finished thirteenth. It is one of the few circuits on the calendar that has given him nothing at all.
One start, no points, a best finish of thirteenth. Set against the rest of his record it stands out for the wrong reasons.
Seventh on the grid, thirteenth at the flag
The 2025 race was his first at the Circuit of the Americas, in his rookie season with Mercedes. He qualified seventh, which was a normal Saturday for him that year, and lost six places over the race distance.
That was unusual. Across a 24-start rookie campaign he finished in the top five seven times, so a thirteenth from the third row is the sort of afternoon that did not happen often.
The contrast with his other circuits is sharp. At Baku he has two starts and two top-five finishes, and in 2026 he has led the drivers' championship for most of the season.
Austin is simply the one place he has been and come away empty.
Kimi Antonelli's United States GP record year by year
Every United States Grand Prix start, with the grid slot it came from and what it was worth.
| Season | Grid | Finish | Points | Team |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 7 | P13 | 0 | Mercedes |
The circuit that owes him one
No win, no podium, no pole, no fastest lap and no points, from the only visit so far. A single race is not a verdict on anything, but it is the only blank of its kind on an otherwise unusually complete young record.
He returns on 25 October in the W17 leading the championship. On current form a repeat of last year's thirteenth would be the surprise rather than the expectation.
