Former Scuderia Ferrari president Luca Cordero di Montezemolo has offered high praise for young Italian racing sensation Kimi Antonelli. The remarkable performances delivered throughout the 2026 Formula 1 season have brought the rising star to the verge of claiming a prestigious world championship title after just two seasons competing in the pinnacle of motorsport.
The confirmation of the championship crown is now practically within touching distance, with Kimi Antonelli needing only two more points to mathematically secure the title. A historic celebration for Italian motorsport is widely expected to kick off in Mexico immediately following the checkered flag. This monumental achievement will end a 73-year wait for the nation since Alberto Ascari last triumphed in the ultimate single-seater category.
For Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, who successfully led the Maranello outfit from 1991 until 2014, the breakthrough performance from the Bologna-born driver marks a revolutionary turning point for Italian sports history. "L’impresa di Kimi cambia la storia dell’automobilismo e dello sport tricolore," stated Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, highlighting how profound this achievement is for the country's racing heritage.
Furthermore, the former Ferrari chairman emphasized the vital role played by family values in shaping the young driver's strong character and resilience against the intense pressures of professional racing. "Sentiamo tutta la forza della sua famiglia," added Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, praising the strong foundation instilled by his parents amidst challenging modern social conditions.
Looking ahead to future campaigns, towering expectations will inevitably surround the young star as he prepares to defend his crown in upcoming seasons. Nevertheless, his proven mental fortitude and unwavering support system suggest he is well-equipped to handle the immense pressures of modern Formula 1.
