'Not realistic' - Can Wolff's assessment of Antonelli's title chance be trusted?

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff believes it is "not realistic" for Kimi Antonelli to win the 2026 F1 Drivers' Championship on Sunday at the United States Grand Prix, despite the Italian starting on pole position.

Antonelli was not expected to claim top spot in qualifying but produced a superb lap in Q3 to beat Red Bull's Max Verstappen and take his first pole position since July's Belgian Grand Prix.
