About Kimi
Andrea Kimi Antonelli is a prodigious talent in motorsport, widely regarded as the most promising Italian driver in recent history. Born in Bologna, Italy, Kimi rapidly ascended through the junior ranks.
As a member of the Mercedes Junior Team since 2019, Antonelli has benefited from world-class development resources and mentorship. He was the first driver that Mercedes team principal, Toto Wolff, thought of when Lewis Hamilton announced his move to Ferrari in early 2024.
Crowned the 2026 Formula 1 World Drivers’ Champion, Kimi Antonelli has enjoyed a meteoric rise through the ranks. The young Italian has become a fan favourite thanks to his exceptional talent, fearless driving and likeable personality.
