Andrea Kimi Antonelli claimed his maiden Formula 1 victory as Mercedes completed a 1-2 at the 2026 Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai.
Antonelli converted pole into a controlled win at the Shanghai International Circuit, completing 56 laps in 1:33:15.607 and crossing the line about 5.515 seconds clear of teammate George Russell, who finished second.
