Kimi Antonelli becomes youngest F1 world champion as Max Verstappen wins Mexico City Grand Prix | Nova Global News

“Kimi Antonelli becomes youngest F1 world champion as Max Verstappen wins Mexico City Grand” — what this page in the network covers. Kimi Antonelli has made Formula 1 history by becoming the youngest world champion ever, clinching the title at the Mexico City Grand Prix. The 18-year-old Italian secured the championship despite Max Verstappen taking the race win at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. Antonelli's achievement surpasses the previous record held by Sebastian Vettel, who won his first title at age 23.

Verstappen's victory, his fifth of the season, was dominant but ultimately secondary to the championship narrative. The Dutchman led from pole and managed his tires expertly, crossing the line ahead of Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc.
