Youngest F1 Champion Antonelli Reflects on Senna’s Influence
The Formula One champion honored his childhood hero with a tribute helmet and a family visit after clinching the title in Mexico.
- Newly crowned Formula One world champion Kimi Antonelli visited Ayrton Senna's grave and sat in his famed 1986 Lotus in São Paulo ahead of this weekend's Grand Prix, paying homage to his childhood idol.
- Antonelli secured his maiden world title in Mexico City last Sunday, timing his tribute to mark 35 years since Senna's first home victory in Brazil—bridging his recent championship with his hero's legacy.
- The 20-year-old Italian unveiled a special Senna-inspired helmet for the race and confirmed he will retain number 12 for the 2027 season, eschewing the champion's right to use number 1 to stay humble.
- Four-Time world champion Sebastian Vettel sent Antonelli a video message urging him to 'stay grounded because there's still, at the end of the day, a race to win.'
- Mercedes aims to secure the constructors' championship this weekend if Antonelli and George Russell outscore Ferrari by three points or more, positioning the team for a double title in São Paulo.
