Kimi Antonelli wins historic first F1 title as Lewis Hamilton fumes over first-lap scuffle at Mexico City GP

Kimi Antonelli has become the youngest Formula One world champion in history by clinching the title with third place at an action-packed Mexican Grand Prix. Aged just 20 years and 68 days, Antonelli’s extraordinary march to the crown in his second season in the sport was completed under the Mexico City sun. He only needed to finish ninth to get over the line but the Italian vowed to finish the job in style. He had to settled for a podium, as he became the first Italian champion since Alberto Ascari in 1953.
