Andrea Kimi Antonelli Breaks Records at Japanese Grand Prix

Andrea Kimi Antonelli, the 18-year-old Mercedes driver, made a memorable mark at the Japanese Grand Prix, breaking two records previously held by Max Verstappen.

Antonelli finished the race in sixth place, but not before surpassing Verstappen as the youngest driver to lead a race and the youngest driver to set the fastest lap in a race.

Verstappen first led a race at 18 years and 228 days old, while Antonelli led several laps before his pit stop at the Suzuka track, achieving this feat four days younger.

Upon returning from the pits with new tires, Antonelli immediately set the fastest lap, breaking Verstappen’s record of achieving it at 19 years old.

After three races in his debut season, Antonelli currently holds fifth place in the overall standings with 30 points.
