Kimi Antonelli provisionally claimed the Formula 1 World Drivers’ Championship on Sunday after securing the title with four grand prix rounds remaining in the 2026 season.
At 20 years old, the Italian Mercedes driver officially broke the record as the youngest world champion in Formula 1 history.
Antonelli clinched the driver’s crown after opening up a commanding 119-point lead over his closest title rivals. The milestone comes following a dominant race weekend that culminated at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico.
Antonelli shared the podium step alongside seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton and Red Bull driver Max Verstappen.
