Antonelli wins Spanish Grand Prix
Young Formula 1 superstar Kimi Antonelli takes out the Spanish Grand Prix as Oscar Piastri finishes eighth.
Kimi Antonelli clinched the Spanish Grand Prix for Mercedes, moving closer to the Formula One title. The 20-year-old Italian's victory was his eighth of the season, widening his championship lead to 81 points after 14 rounds. Luck played a significant role in his win, as a virtual safety car (VSC) and a McLaren pit stop on lap 16 robbed pole-sitter Lando Norris of a likely win.
Antonelli expressed his satisfaction with the win, acknowledging that Norris had deserved it. Red Bull's Max Verstappen finished second, followed by Norris in third. Norris lamented missing out on the win due to "luck not on our side." The top three included the podium for the afternoon, with Antonelli first, Verstappen second, and Norris third.
