F1 Results Today: US Grand Prix 2026 times and positions

The US Grand Prix marks Round 18 of the 2026 F1 season this afternoon (Sunday, October 25), and we're bringing you the full results from Austin, Texas.

The race at the Circuit of the Americas gets underway at 15:00 local time in the Lone Star State, which is 8pm GMT in the United Kingdom, and it could be a title-defining occasion.

Championship leader Kimi Antonelli starts from pole and has his first chance to wrap up the 2026 drivers' title, although several results must go his way if he is to do so.

First, Antonelli must win the grand prix, but he also needs team-mate George Russell to finish ninth or lower, and Ferrari star Lewis Hamilton to be fifth or below. They line up P5 and P6 for today's start.

If all of that happens, Antonelli will be crowned F1's youngest ever world champion, eclipsing the previous record set by Sebastian Vettel by three years and 73 days.

Of course, Max Verstappen, Isack Hadjar and Red Bull are hoping they can stop Antonelli, too, lining up in second and third on the grid after running the Italian close in qualifying on Saturday.

Whatever happens in Texas, we'll be bringing you all of the results from the race below, so be sure to stay tuned!
