Italian Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli took first place in the Japanese Grand Prix, the third round of the Formula One World Championship, on Sunday at the Suzuka circuit and seized the lead in the World Championship. The 19-year-old Antonelli secured his second consecutive victory after the Chinese Grand Prix two weeks ago. He managed to make up for a poor start before crossing the finish line first, benefiting from the safety car deployment. He was followed by Australian McLaren driver Oscar Piastri and Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc from Monaco.
