F2 chief says Antonelli's title was welcomed across F1 and F2

Bruno Michel, the FIA Formula 2 and FIA Formula 3 CEO, says Kimi Antonelli’s title was met with happiness across Formula 1 and Formula 2. Drivers, team principals and people from both series, he said, were happy to see the Italian crowned.

Michel described the celebrations after the Mexico City Grand Prix as emotional and “very, very nice”. Antonelli was 20 years and 68 days old when he became Formula 1’s youngest drivers’ champion, more than three years younger than Sebastian Vettel when Vettel set the previous record.
