'I reached rock bottom' - Antonelli admits shock as title charge accelerates

Kimi Antonelli has admitted he couldn't have imagined being in a dominant position at the top of the Formula 1 world championship 12 months ago when he reached "rock bottom" during his rookie campaign.

Antonelli, 19, won the Belgian Grand Prix for Mercedes on Sunday to move 45 points clear of Lewis Hamilton at the top of the drivers' standings, with 10 of 22 currently scheduled rounds complete.
