Can anyone stop Antonelli winning Italy’s first title since 1953?

Well, we all knew that Kimi Antonelli had huge potential. He showed it from the get-go, even though he ended up in the wall at Monza’s Parabolica that day he drove in FP1 for Mercedes in 2024.

And there were some very promising moments in an up and down 2025 – notably at Interlagos when he chased Lando Norris home while fending off none less than Max Verstappen.
