Kimi Raikkonen wins 2026 Chinese GP in hilarious incident

Chinese GP winner Kimi Antonelli was mistakenly introduced as "Kimi Raikkonen" as he took to the podium in Shanghai. 

Antonelli had become the second-youngest driver to ever win a grand prix with his win in China ahead of team-mate George Russell and Lewis Hamilton, who took a first Ferrari podium in third.

He became the first Italian since Giancarlo Fisichella 19 years, and 361 days ago to win a grand prix after Fisichella's victory in Malaysia as well as the 116th driver overall to claim a world championship GP win, with China 2026 being the 1,151st race.

Taking to the podium, veteran announcer Bob Constanduros suffered a momentary lapse, as 2007 world champion Raikkonen made an unexpected appearance! 

For the record, with Antonelli being the second youngest winner at 19 years, 6 months, 19 days, Raikkonen would have been the third oldest ever at 46 years, 4 months, 27 days, behind Luigi Fagioli at 53 years, 22 days and Juan Manuel Fangio at 46 years, 9 months, 3 days.
