MADRID, Spain (AFP) â Kimi Antonelli has no intention of easing up in the race for the Formula One world championship title, after his win in the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday took him 81 points clear of his nearest rival.
The 20-year-old Italian benefited from the ill luck of McLarenâs Lando Norris to claim his eighth win of the season while his teammate George Russell, who is second in the title race, could only come in fifth.
The victory takes Antonelli one more huge stride closer to becoming the first Italian to win the title since Alberto Ascari in 1953. He would also be the youngest ever.
