What happened
By now, even Kimi Antonelli's closest rival is conceding that the race for the Formula 1 title is pretty much over. Antonelli won his eighth race of the season — and second in a row — at Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix, extending his championship lead to 81 points with nine races remaining.
