Antonelli started from pole position at the Suzuka circuit, which he had secured in qualifying. Although he dropped out of the podium places during the race from first position, he was helped by the safety car period declared after his teammate Oliver Bearman's crash. This allowed the Italian to return to the lead, and he controlled the final phase of the race. ta3.com ↗

The victory in Japan represents a historic moment for Antonelli. According to available information, he became the first teenager to lead the F1 World Championship. Sources indicate that Mercedes is dominating this year's season, as its drivers George Russell and Kimi Antonelli have not lost in three races so far and are competing for victories only between themselves. sport.sk ↗

This era represents a breakthrough for the Brackley-based team after years in which other teams dominated the series. Antonelli's rapid rise and immediate success suggest that the teenager could become one of the future stars of the motorsport championship. sport.pravda.sk ↗
