Is this the most fitting podium in Formula 1 as history made in Mexico?

What a top three at the end of the Mexico City Grand Prix!!

It was a remarkable sight as two of the most decorated drivers in Formula 1 celebrated on the podium with the youngest champion in the sport's history at the end of the Mexico City Grand Prix.

Kimi Antonelli might not have won the race at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, but what he achieved was comfortably enough to set a new F1 record that may never be beaten.

The 20-year-old Italian was third at the chequered flag at the end of 71 laps, joining two of F1's greats on the rostrum.

Four-time F1 champion Max Verstappen took the chequered flag from fifth on the grid in his Red Bull, whilst polesitter Lewis Hamilton was forced to settle for second after a contentious opening lap with Ferrari's Charles Leclerc.

But standing on the podium with 12 titles now between them, it was a remarkable sight.

Perhaps the most fitting podium in Formula 1 at the end of a grand prix as two generational greats stood shoulder to shoulder with a young driver joining them with such an accolade.
