Kimi Antonelli se pasa el juego en México y se convierte en el más joven de la historia en ganar el Mundial de F1
El piloto de Mercedes devuelve la gloria a Italia, que no tenía un campeón del mundo desde Ascari en 1953
Kimi Antonelli made quite an impression at the Austin round, setting the stage for the celebration that followed just a week later in Mexico City. This young whiz, whose eagerness is as bright as his face, managed to clinch victory in Mexico City, where he had grown up after his father introduced him to karting at an early age. The 18-year-old arrived in Mexico with all the preparations in place, with the sole goal of securing a podium finish for his Mercedes team.
He had already struggled to achieve this feat at Montmeló and Silverstone, both times due to mechanical issues.
At the Hermanos Rodríguez circuit, Antonelli secured a podium spot in a chaotic race dominated by Max Verstappen, ahead of Lewis Hamilton. His performance set the tone for a World Championship that he has approached with remarkable ease, displaying a level of natural talent that underscores his status as one of the most significant figures in Formula 1 history.
A severe bump into the wall, which caused Valtteri Bottas to collapse his front suspension, led to the circuit's neutralization and allowed Antonelli the chance to make one last overtaking move past Charles Leclerc, ultimately securing a spot on the podium at the Foro Sol arena.
