Kimi Antonelli is on the cusp of history, poised to become Formula One’s youngest ever world champion with a commanding lead and just a few races left. His Madrid win has shifted the title race so dramatically that even a flawless season from teammate George Russell wouldn’t be enough to stop him. Russell admits he’s out of contention, jokingly suggesting Antonelli should hope for his own comeback — while Max Verstappen, who finished behind him in Spain, quips he’s not planning one. Verstappen, focused on ending his winless streak since 2015, simply urges Antonelli to keep driving his current form. Lando Norris agrees Antonelli doesn’t need advice — the 20-year-old is already outpacing his more experienced teammate with astonishing consistency and maturity, and Norris is thrilled for what’s ahead: years of fierce rivalry with a driver who’s already rewriting the record books.
