Formula 1's record books have a new entry as Kimi Antonelli becomes the youngest world champion in the sport's history, surpassing previous record-holders including Lewis Hamilton.
The Italian driver's achievement has sparked comparisons with other young champions who made their mark early in their careers. Hamilton set the previous benchmark when he won his first title in 2008 at age 23, while Sebastian Vettel claimed his first championship at 23 in 2010.
Antonelli's title victory adds another chapter to Formula 1's evolving narrative of youthful excellence, with the sport continuing to see drivers reach the pinnacle at increasingly younger ages.
