Antonelli heads list of F1's youngest champions
As Kimi Antonelli becomes F1's youngest world champion, we look at how his achievement compares with some of the drivers who previously held the record.
Kimi Antonelli has achieved a historic feat by becoming the youngest Formula 1 world champion in the 77th year of the championship. The Italian, who turned 20 on August 25, secured the title in his second full season after winning nine grands prix since making his debut at the Australian Grand Prix in 2025. Antonelli broke records during his rise to the top, becoming the youngest driver to lead the championship and achieve a pole position in China.
He also set a record for leading every lap and winning the Monaco Grand Prix. These accomplishments set him apart from other young champions like Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton, and Fernando Alonso in F1 history.
