Kimi Antonelli crowned, Ferrari implode as Mexico delivers title chaos - Winners & losers from the Mexico City GP

Formula 1 has a new youngest world Champion after Kimi Antonelli sealed the drivers' title in Mexico City with a measured third-place finish behind another consummate performance from race-winner Max Verstappen.

Meanwhile, Ferrari self-destructed, sparking ructions between Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc; George Russell suffered a miserable afternoon, and Haas axed Esteban Ocon mid-weekend.

Here are your full winners and losers from a captivating few days in Mexico City.

Winner - Kimi Antonelli

Kimi Antonelli did not need to win the Mexico City Grand Prix to make history; ninth position would have been good enough. 

At the flag, Antonelli finished a fine third behind two of the greatest of all time, Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton.

At 20 years and 68 days old, the Mercedes driver became the youngest champion in F1 history, surpassing the previous record, held by Sebastian Vettel, by an astonishing three years. He is also the first Italian to lift the drivers' title since Alberto Ascari in 1953. 

While Ferrari imploded around him and his own team-mate, George Russell, endured a nightmare, Antonelli simply it clean and let the points come to him to mark his place in the annuls of the sport.

Winner - Max Verstappen

Max Verstappen took full advantage of Ferrari's self-inflicted chaos, inheriting the lead after Hamilton and Charles Leclerc tangled on the opening lap, which saw Leclerc pick up a track-cutting penalty.

Despite a second restart from 'pole', after a horrifying front-left suspension failure on his Cadillac at 200mph sent Valtteri Bottas hurtling into a barrier, Verstappen was unflappable on this occasion en route to his third win of the campaign.

The result was all the more impressive because he started fifth after a one-place grid penalty for a second-practice clash with Liam Lawson. Verstappen also set the fastest lap, rubbing salt into Ferrari's wounds.

Winner - Ryo Hirakawa

Parachuted into the Haas seat on Saturday after Esteban Ocon's sudden axing, Ryo Hirakawa became F1's oldest race debutant since Andre Lotterer in 2014.

The 32-year-old needed no time to settle in, and when post-race penalties dropped rivals down the order, his Haas was elevated to 10th, handing him a championship point on his first grand prix appearance.

Loser - Ferrari

Ferrari arrived with a genuine shot at victory, with its smaller turbocharger seemingly giving it an edge at altitude.

Instead, Hamilton, who had ended a three-year drought by securing pole position, and third-on-the-grid Leclerc squabbled for position on the opening lap.

Leclerc was eventually handed a five-second penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage after failing to give the place back, much to Hamilton's annoyance over the radio and post-race.

Serving the penalty at a pit stop, Red Bull immediately also brought in Verstappen, who had maintained a small gap to Leclerc, allowing the four-time F1 champion to leapfrog the Monégasque for the lead, a position he maintained to the flag.

Although Hamilton salvaged second, a maiden win that looked there for the taking, slipped away through indiscipline.

Loser - George Russell

George Russell qualified on the front row, only for an electrical deployment problem off the line and down to Turn 1 to wreck his race before it had barely started.

Fighting back through the field, he then clattered into the rear of Isack Hadjar's Red Bull at Turn 6, spinning his rival and earning a 10-second penalty.

A slow pit stop then cost him fifth place to Lando Norris, leaving him to settle for a lowly sixth. Mercedes was also fined 5,000 euros after Russell skipped his mandatory post-race media duties to the understandable devastation at seeing team-mate Antonelli be crowned champion.

Loser - Esteban Ocon

Esteban Ocon's weekend ended before the race had even started, with the Frenchman dropped by Haas midway through the event.

In practice on Friday, Ocon was involved in a tense dispute with his race engineer over tyre running plans. On Saturday morning, it was announced he was dropped, with Haas making clear it was not for health reasons.

Ocon later issued a statement confirming internal disagreements had occurred while denying rumours of any physical altercation as the reason for his exit.

Haas has not detailed its disciplinary reasoning, and it remains unclear whether Ocon will be back in the car for the team's home-stretch races.
