In a dramatic finish to his first Formula 1 victory at the 2026 Chinese Grand Prix, Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli survived a lap 53 lock-up at Turn 14, holding off teammate George Russell by 5.515 seconds for a 1-2. The 19-year-old celebrated with a thumbs-up gesture, recreating Jim Clark's iconic 1967 US GP salute as promised.
Former Formula 1 driver Jolyon Palmer has rejected suggestions that Lewis Hamilton regrets his move to Ferrari following Kimi Antonelli's maiden victory at the Chinese Grand Prix. The win came in the second round of the 2026 season, with Hamilton achieving his first podium finish for Ferrari.
