Mercedes' 18-year-old driver Kimi Antonelli has made history by becoming the youngest F1 winner in the sport's history. The Italian teenager dominated the Chinese GP, clinching his maiden Grand Prix win from pole position and breaking Sebastian Vettel's record for the youngest pole-sitter.
Antonelli's victory was a special moment for the team, as it marked the first win for the Italian driver and also ended a year-long wait for Lewis Hamilton's first podium with Ferrari. The two drivers shared a special moment on the podium, with Hamilton hugging Antonelli and congratulating him on his achievement.
Antonelli's rise to fame has been nothing short of meteoric. He became the second youngest F1 driver to earn points at the Australian GP and the youngest driver to set a fastest lap at the Japanese GP. He also became the third youngest driver to claim a podium at the 2025 Monaco GP.
Despite being just 18 years old, Antonelli has already silenced his critics and proven himself to be a force to be reckoned with in the world of F1. With a car that looks like the favourite to win both titles, it's clear that Antonelli is going to be a major player in the sport for years to come.
