GP de México en directo | Antonelli se corona en México como el piloto más joven en ganar el Mundial de F1

Andrea Kimi Antonelli has become the youngest Formula 1 World Champion after winning the GP Mexico, breaking the record previously held by Sebastian Vettel. At just 20 years, 2 months, and 8 days old, Antonelli claimed the victory at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, surpassing Vettel's record of 23 years, 4 months, and 11 days.

Despite finishing third on the podium, Antonelli's achievement marks a significant milestone in the sport. The race was won by Max Verstappen, followed by Lewis Hamilton, while Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll had to retire due to issues with their cars in the early laps. The race was halted by a red flag after a crash involving Valteri Bottas, leading to a restart from the starting grid.
