Kimi Antonelli has earned high praise from former Formula 1 driver and Sky Sports analyst Martin Brundle, who described the young Italian's development during his second season as "quite extraordinary".
Following a high-pressure rookie season in 2025, when he took the position left by seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes, the 19-year-old became the youngest driver to lead the championship and has won three consecutive grands prix in China, Japan and Miami.
