We discuss the hype around Kimi Antonelli potentially becoming World Champion in Austin, questioning whether Sky’s coverage overstated his chances when the circumstances needed for him to clinch the title were always unlikely.

We also discuss how the result felt like a fitting snapshot of the season so far, with Kimi finishing well clear of the competition.
