New Delhi, March 15 -- Italian sensation Andrea Kimi Antonelli delivered a landmark moment in Formula 1 by claiming his maiden Grand Prix victory at the 2026 Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai. The 19-year-old Mercedes driver converted his historic pole position, the youngest in F1 history, into a commanding win, becoming the second-youngest race winner ever at 19 years and 202 days, only behind Max Verstappen's 2016 Spanish GP record.

Kimi Antonelli briefly lost the lead at the start to Lewis Hamilton's Ferrari but regained control with calm precision. He navigated a late off-track scare to secure the checkered flag ahead of teammate George Russell in second, securing a Mercedes one-two.
