Antonelli Makes History — Youngest F1 Polesitter Ever

Antonelli: 19 — beats Vettel 2008 record Russell wins Sprint +0.674s over Leclerc Russell Q3 failure — salvages P2 Ferrari "flip-flop" wing debut Main race TBD today

Kimi Antonelli, 19, is the youngest Grand Prix polesitter in Formula 1 history — 1:32.064, beating Vettel's 2008 Monza record by over a year. Russell, who had won every session in 2026 to that point, suffered a power failure mid-Q3, was repaired, and emerged for one final desperate lap to salvage P2. Earlier, Russell won the Sprint from Leclerc and Hamilton in a fierce battle. The main Grand Prix starts today — Antonelli hunts his first F1 win from pole.
