Newly crowned Formula 1 world champion Andrea Kimi Antonelli was visibly moved to tears while attending the Nations League clash between Italy and France at the San Siro. Amidst a crowd of 70,000, the Italian sensation received a thunderous ovation as fans chanted his name, celebrating his historic achievement in the 2026 season.
The atmosphere reached a fever pitch when the cameras captured Kimi Antonelli on the stadium's giant screens. Overwhelmed by the affection from his home crowd, the young champion was seen mouthing, "Wow," clearly touched by the outpouring of support following his championship victory secured with four races to spare.
His journey to the top has been nothing short of spectacular. At just 20 years old, Antonelli has become the youngest world champion in F1 history and the first Italian to clinch the title in 73 years. His reputation was cemented in the eyes of his fans during a masterclass performance at Monza, where he stormed from 19th on the grid to claim an unforgettable home victory.
After helping Mercedes secure the constructors' world championship with a fifth-place finish in Brazil, Antonelli is now shifting his focus to the upcoming Las Vegas Grand Prix. The race, scheduled for November 22, kicks off the final triple-header of the year.
While F1 officials have confirmed that the season will proceed as planned in Qatar and Abu Dhabi despite regional tensions, the situation remains under constant review. Although Imola was previously considered as a contingency, F1 has asked the circuit to stand down for now, keeping the possibility of a 21-race season open should the global situation dictate a change in the final two rounds.
