Kimi Antonelli won his first world championship by finishing third at the Mexico Grand Prix, becoming the 36th Formula 1 champion. At 20 years and 68 days old, Antonelli took the title of youngest champion in the sport's 76-year history.
The 36th world champion in Formula 1 history has been decided. Italian driver Kimi Antonelli won his first championship by finishing third at the Mexico Grand Prix.
Mercedes driver Antonelli reached this achievement in the second season of his career. Winning nine races with Mercedes this season, Antonelli became the youngest world champion in the sport's 76-year history.
Antonelli, who won the title at 20 years and 68 days old, broke Sebastian Vettel's record. Vettel was 23 years and 134 days old when he won his first world title with Red Bull in 2010. The record Vettel held for 16 years was broken by a full three years. Antonelli's record is said to possibly stand for decades, perhaps for all time.
