Kimi Antonelli warned people will put an ‘asterisk’ next to his title thanks to ‘random’ rules

Kimi Antonelli has extended his lead in the Formula 1 championship to 84 points after a strong performance at the Bahrain Grand Prix. With George Russell's retirement from third place at Sepang, Antonelli is now in a position to potentially secure the title at the upcoming Brazilian Grand Prix, which would make him the youngest world champion in history.

Despite his impressive performance, concerns have been raised about the credibility of the championship due to the chaotic 2026 rules. Former F1 technical director Gary Anderson highlighted that the new power units could lead to unpredictable outcomes, prompting questions about the meritocracy of the season. While Anderson believes in Antonelli's talent, he acknowledges that the regulations may cast doubt on the legitimacy of the title.
