George Russell has floated a tongue-in-cheek plan to stop Mercedes team-mate Kimi Antonelli from clinching the Formula 1 championship at the United States Grand Prix: taking him out drinking, under the joking threat to "get you arrested."

Antonelli heads into the race at the Circuit of the Americas with a 102-point lead over second-placed Russell in the standings, giving him the chance to claim his maiden F1 title.
