Kimi Antonelli celebrated victory at the 2026 Chinese Grand Prix, moving him to the brink of securing the Formula 1 championship. According to reports, only a disastrous final race weekend in Mexico combined with a win from teammate George Russell could prevent Antonelli from clinching the title.
The Italian driver's triumph in Shanghai strengthened his championship lead heading into the season finale. Russell would need to win in Mexico while Antonelli scores minimal points for the title fight to extend further.
