Antonelli becomes youngest F1 champion in Mexico

Kimi Antonelli claimed the Formula 1 world championship at the Mexico round, becoming the youngest champion in the sport's history. With four races still remaining, his closest rivals had lost even a theoretical chance of challenging him for the title.

Antonelli entered F1 last year at the age of 18 and, despite several standout races, his debut campaign was not without doubts. He has since admitted that he questioned himself throughout that rookie season, before his strong performances this year allowed him to dominate the championship.
