Details: Yesterday marked the end of the Canadian Grand Prix, where young Italian driver Kimi Antonelli claimed a podium finish in third place, becoming the third youngest podium finisher in Formula 1 history.

Antonelli stepped onto the podium at just 18 years, 9 months, and 21 days old. Only two drivers have ever clinched a podium at a younger age:

  • Max Verstappen — 18 years, 7 months, 15 days
  • Lance Stroll — 18 years, 7 months, 27 days

This remarkable feat puts the young Mercedes prodigy in the company of the sport's legends, earning well-deserved admiration for the rising star.

The race victory went to another Mercedes driver — 27-year-old George Russell, while Red Bull's Max Verstappen crossed the line in second place.

Recall: A rocky start to the weekend. Charles Leclerc crashed into the wall during the first practice session of the Canadian Grand Prix
