Kimi Antonelli is your 2026 Formula 1 World Champion! He makes history, by some margin, as the youngest to ever do it. He does it in style, landing on the podium, hoisted by the two modern legends of the sport, Max Verstappen, who won, and Lewis Hamilton, who came second. Meanwhile, things are a-brewin' in the Ferrari camp, with controversial driving from Lewis and Charles, ending with Lewis claiming there are big problems. Further back, red flags and penalties, as Stuart Codling breaks down the news of the day.

🥹❤️ Kimi Antonelli broke down in tears while remembering his grandfather after becoming World Champion. “That song was very emotional for me because it was a song my grandfather used to listen to all the time.” Kimi then paused, overcome with emotion, before adding: “I think he would be very proud.” “Oh my God, I’ve cried way too much today.” Not just a championship. A moment for someone who couldn’t be there to see it. ❤️ (via. @kikotonelli) #F1 https://t.co/R21XiN7JYx
