Kimi Antonelli has won the Formula One World Championship, becoming the youngest-ever driver to claim the title.

In a historic race in Mexico, the Italian crossed the line in third, winning the Championship with four rounds to go.

The 20-year-old has had several memorable moments, including in his home race in Monza, where he started 19th on the grid and came home to win the Grand Prix.

After his victory last weekend in the United States, which his team principal, Toto Wolff, described as his "best win yet", the Italian entered the Mexico Grand Prix needing only a ninth-place finish or better to win the title.

After finishing third, the Italian is crowned Formula One world champion at 20 years and 68 days.

The race started with Charles Leclerc dramatically going off the track, overtaking his teammate Lewis Hamilton, but he was under investigation as he led the race.
