It took more than two hours, but it happened: Kimi champion
Kimi Antonelli secured his first Formula 1 World Championship at the Mexican Grand Prix, becoming the youngest champion at 20 years old. Despite a tense buildup and health issues, he only needed to finish in the top positions to clinch the title. The race saw Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc collide at the start, impacting their standings. After a red flag due to a crash, the race resumed with Max Verstappen leading. Antonelli finished third, enough to ensure his championship victory, marking a significant achievement for both him and Mercedes, who had not won a drivers' title in five years.
