Italian Formula One driver Kimi Antonelli secured his maiden world championship title at the Mexican Grand Prix on Sunday, becoming the youngest-ever champion in the sport's history.
The Mercedes driver clinched the title at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on November 1, 2026, marking a historic achievement for the Italian who only made his F1 debut earlier this season.
Antonelli's championship victory caps a remarkable rookie campaign that has seen him claim multiple race wins and podium finishes since joining Mercedes. His title triumph makes him the first Italian world champion since Alberto Ascari in 1953.
The young driver celebrated with his team after crossing the finish line, with Mercedes securing both the drivers' and constructors' championships for the season.
