Formula 1: Antonelli Wins Chinese GP; Hamilton Celebrates First Podium With Ferrari
Chinese Grand Prix: Teenage sensation Kimi Antonelli claimed his first Formula One victory with an impressive performance at the Chinese Grand Prix on Sunday. He beat George Russell to the finish line while Lewis Hamilton celebrated his first podium for Scuderia Ferrari in Shanghai.
The 19-year-old Italian, who became the youngest pole sitter in Formula One history during qualifying, briefly lost the lead at the start when Hamilton surged ahead from third on the grid. However, Antonelli quickly regained control before the end of the second lap and never looked back.
He managed the race confidently, despite a late scare after running deep at the Turn 14 hairpin with four laps to go. He crossed the line 5.5 seconds ahead of his Mercedes-AMG Petronas teammate Russell, making him the second-youngest race winner in F1 history.
