United States GP: pole won only 6 of 13 at COTA



Every United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas, 2012 to 2025 (13 races; none in 2020). The winner started from pole 6 times and from second 5 times: the front row won 11 of 13. Lowest start for a winner: Verstappen, 6th on the grid in 2023. Most wins at COTA: Hamilton 5, Verstappen 4.

Title maths after Singapore: Antonelli 340, Russell 238, Hamilton 229; 6 Grands Prix and 150 points left, no sprints. Antonelli is champion in Austin if he wins, Russell finishes 9th or worse and Hamilton 5th or worse. (With Russell 9th they could only tie on points, and Antonelli would have more wins, the first tie-break.) Second place is never enough.
