Kimi Antonelli is rewriting the record books in Monaco
It is absolutely insane what Kimi Antonelli is doing right now. The 19-year-old Mercedes driver just crushed the Monaco Grand Prix, and he did it with a clinical precision that we rarely see in the Principality. This wasn't just a win; it was a career first Grand Slam, with Antonelli taking pole, the fastest lap, and leading all 78 laps of the race.
He has now rattled off five victories on the bounce, joining legends like Jack Brabham, Jim Clark, Nigel Mansell, and Lewis Hamilton. Statistics tell a terrifying story for his rivals: no driver in history who has hit this five-win streak has failed to eventually claim a World Championship. Even with a late Safety Car and red flag cutting into his lead—which at one point stretched to nearly 30 seconds—he remains the class of the field.
This is a massive shift from just 12 months ago when the Italian finished last in P18. Now, he sits 66 points clear of Lewis Hamilton and two points ahead of his Mercedes teammate George Russell. To put it simply, we are witnessing something historic as he becomes the youngest driver ever to win in Monaco.
