Now feels like a pretty suitable moment to speak from the heart. This season started off exactly how I had hoped but it very quickly unravelled with tough luck and poor performances. It’s been the first proper season of my career where I’ve had more bad days than good.

Kimi Antonelli è campione del mondo! A soli 20 anni conquista un traguardo straordinario, diventando il più giovane campione del mondo nella storia della Formula 1. Un successo che riporta un pilota italiano sul tetto del mondo, premiando talento, impegno, determinazione e dedizione. Un motivo di grande orgoglio per la nostra Nazione. Complimenti, Kimi!
