Andrea Kimi Antonelli, a 19-year-old Italian driver, won the Japanese Grand Prix, making him the sport's youngest championship leader. His victory at Suzuka made him the first Italian to win back-to-night races in Formula One since Alberto Ascari in 1953. Despite starting from pole, Antonello's slow start and slow pace, he managed to secure victory and take a nine-point lead over teammate George Russell. Despite acknowledging minor issues with his teammate, Antonelli remains optimistic about his future in the sport.
