The father of Formula 1 driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli, Marco Antonelli, has firmly dismissed the persistent rumors regarding his son potentially relocating his official residence to Monte Carlo. The speculation originally sparked widespread attention following remarks made by Prince Albert of Monaco, who claimed that the young racing sensation was actively contemplating a move to the glamorous principality, prompting an immediate reaction from authorities in San Marino.
The Republic of San Marino quickly intervened at the time to assure the motorsport community that the Mercedes rising star had no intentions whatsoever of altering his residency status. Officials emphasized that the driver's choice to live in San Marino was driven by long-term comfort and comprehensive lifestyle benefits rather than purely financial or tax-related motivations during his demanding global campaign.
Speaking directly through an interview with Il Resto del Carlino, Marco Antonelli delivered a definitive clarification to extinguish the ongoing paddock gossip. He stated that San Marino serves as an exceptional overall compromise tailored for a top-tier racing driver, confirming that their family is completely settled and has zero necessity to relocate anywhere else at this moment in time.
The family's deep-rooted connection to San Marino is further solidified by professional endeavors, as Marco Antonelli previously established the headquarters of his racing outfit, AKM Motorsport by Antonelli, within the territory back in 2020. The operation, which competes in karting and closed-wheel categories, highlights the strong operational ties the family maintains in the region.
Concluding his remarks, the senior Antonelli addressed the origin of the reports by admitting complete bewilderment regarding who started the unfounded claims. He reiterated that he has been based in San Marino for seven years and that the location has always been a personal favorite for his son, who naturally chose to join him there to build his professional foundation.
