Antonelli stretches lead as Madring's first F1 winner
MADRID: Kimi Antonelli moved a mighty step closer to the Formula One title on Sunday after winning the first Spanish Grand Prix held at Madrid’s new circuit.
Kimi Antonelli's victory in the inaugural Spanish Grand Prix at Madrid's new circuit has propelled him closer to the Formula One title, according to the New Straits Times. The 20-year-old Italian extended his championship lead to 81 points after 14 rounds, following a well-timed virtual safety car and McLaren's pitstop mishap that cost pole-sitter Lando Norris a win.
Verstappen finished second, while Norris claimed third place. Antonelli now leads teammate George Russell by 81 points, with Russell finishing fifth in the race.
