Kimi Antonelli sealed his place in Formula 1 history Sunday by becoming the 36th drivers' champion in the series' history, and he did so in unprecedented fashion.
Here are all the records Antonelli set and the rare feats he accomplished by locking up his first title.
Youngest drivers' champion ever
The 20-year-old Antonelli shattered the record for youngest drivers' champion, which was previously held by Sebastian Vettel. The Red Bull legend was 23 years old in 2010 when he kicked off his run of four straight titles. Antonelli is also the first drivers' champion born in the 21st century.
1st Italian drivers' champion since 1953
No pilot representing Italy has won the drivers' championship since Alberto Ascari in 1953. To put that in perspective, the youngest Italian who's witnessed a driver from their country win a championship is at least 73 years old today. That means even 62-year-old Marco Antonelli had never seen a countryman win the title before his son did it Sunday. Meanwhile, 76-year-old Alpine boss Flavio Briatore might be the only Italian in the paddock who's been alive for all four Italian drivers' titles.
