Kimi Antonelli has become the youngest Formula 1 world champion. The Italian driver is 20 years old and races for Mercedes.

Antonelli finished third in the Mexico City Grand Prix on Sunday. That result gave him enough points to win the season title. Max Verstappen won the race, and Lewis Hamilton finished second.

The drivers still have four races left this season. But Antonelli has enough points that his rivals cannot pass him.
