Kimi Antonelli claims maiden Grand Prix victory with win in China

Kimi Antonelli entered the world championship fight after he became Formula One’s second youngest winner in history with victory at Sunday’s Chinese Grand Prix – as Lewis Hamilton claimed the first podium of his Ferrari career.

Antonelli, 19 years and 202 days, delivered a composed drive from pole position at the Shanghai International Circuit to dislodge Sebastian Vettel in the all-time list and enter the record books behind only Max Verstappen.

George Russell finished runner-up, 5.5 seconds behind his Mercedes team-mate – a result that will serve as a warning to the British driver that he will not have it all his own way in his bid for a maiden world crown.
