Kimi Antonelli has created history by becoming Formula 1’s youngest-ever world champion in just his second season racing in the sport.

Antonelli secured his maiden F1 world title in what marked a true coming-of-age season in just his second year racing in the world championship. 2026 was a season to remember for Antonelli, who set several F1 records including becoming the youngest-ever pole sitter, youngest world championship leader, and youngest driver to reach five victories.
