Kimi Antonelli Breaks Sebastian Vettel's Record To Become Youngest F1 World Champion In History

Kimi Antonelli has etched his name into Formula One history, becoming the youngest world champion after securing third place at the Mexico Grand Prix in a dramatic race on Sunday. At just 20 years and 68 days old, the Mercedes driver becomes the youngest title winner, breaking Sebastian Vettel’s record by more than three years. Max Verstappen claimed victory on the day, but the spotlight belonged firmly to the young Italian. Antonelli also ends a 73-year wait for an Italian Formula One world champion, becoming the first driver from his country to lift the title since Alberto Ascari in 1953.
