Italian driver Kimi Antonelli has made history by becoming the youngest driver ever to win the Formula 1 World Championship.
The 2026 Formula 1 season came to an end yesterday with the Mexican Grand Prix, where Antonelli finished third. Max Verstappen claimed victory, while Lewis Hamilton secured second place.
However, Antonelli had already done enough across the season to finish at the top of the drivers’ standings and secure the world title, collecting 380 points.
Still only 20 years old, Antonelli has broken the record previously held by Sebastian Vettel, who became the youngest Formula 1 world champion in 2010 at the age of 23.
