A place in the history books is assured for Kimi Antonelli as, at just 19, he became the youngest ever winner of the Monaco Grand Prix, but it was the manner of his consummate victory on the streets of Monte Carlo that made a truly indelible mark. For much of the race there were few fireworks in Monaco but when it mattered Antonelli burned brightly.
The Italian still has but one season in Formula One under his belt and only one previous outing in Monaco, where he finished in last place, but, having already claimed pole position, Antonelli mastered it like an old hand on Sunday. If he is to be prevented from becoming the youngest- ever world champion this year, then the challenge is going to have to be mighty strong indeed.
