Record6 September 2026 at 15:58

Kimi Antonelli secured victory at the Italian Formula 1 Grand Prix, thus consolidating his position as leader in the world championship. The Italian driver achieved a result that had not been achieved by an Italian driver since 1966, when Giancarlo Baghetti won the same race.

With this victory, Antonelli significantly strengthened his advantage in the drivers' championship. The young Mercedes driver demonstrated consistent performance throughout the entire race, managing to maintain the lead from start to the checkered flag.

The race took place at the iconic Monza circuit, known as the "Temple of Speed," which holds special importance for Italian drivers and local fans. The crowd in the stands enthusiastically celebrated their compatriot's victory.

This result marks a historic moment for motorsport in Italy, as it represents the first time in nearly six decades that an Italian driver has won the Italian Grand Prix, the most emblematic event on the Formula 1 calendar.
