"Kimi Antonelli won the Japanese Grand Prix on Sunday for his second straight victory as the 19-year-old Italian became the youngest driver in Formula One history to lead the world championship standings."
"Antonelli took advantage of a mid-race safety car to leapfrog into the lead after a dreadful start from pole position at Suzuka and eventually led home McLaren's Oscar Piastri and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc."
"He whooped with delight as he crossed the line, telling his team the pace was unbelievable today. He leads the championship after three races, building on the first grand prix win of his career two weeks ago in China."
"Russell battled Piastri for the lead over the first half of the race but pitted just before the safety car to drop back out of contention for the win."
Kimi Antonelli, at 19 years old, won the Japanese Grand Prix, marking his second consecutive victory and making him the youngest driver to lead the Formula One championship. After a poor start from pole position, Antonelli capitalized on a mid-race safety car to regain the lead. He finished ahead of McLaren's Oscar Piastri and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc. Mercedes' George Russell, who started the day leading the championship, finished fourth. Antonelli's win follows his first career victory in China two weeks prior.
