Kimi Antonelli, the youngest Formula One champion in history and first Italian winner in 73 years, will need to refocus his efforts in the wake of his historic title win. His next challenge is to lead Mercedes to the constructors' championship by outscoring Ferrari by a margin of three points or more. The 20-year-old, who has already secured 10 victories during a remarkable season, knows his Mercedes teammate George Russell will be eager to bounce back from his recent struggles.
Antonelli paid tribute to his childhood hero Ayrton Senna by visiting his childhood hero's famous car and sat in the number 12 Lotus 98T.
