A weekend to remember for Andrea Kimi Antonelli, who claimed pole position in the Sprint Race in Miami.
Andrea Kimi Antonelli made history in Miami by taking pole position for the Sprint Race. An unforgettable weekend for the young driver from Bologna, who, due in part to bad luck, wasn’t able to convert his pole into a win. Still, the result doesn’t change much — the Italian rookie is surprising everyone with his speed and consistency at the front of the field.
Toto Wolff himself — who picked Antonelli right after Hamilton’s move to Ferrari — commented on Antonelli’s weekend in Miami. He said: “Kimi showed all of his talent this weekend, but today’s race will give him valuable lessons. That’s absolutely normal for a rookie, especially at 18 years old. Race management and experience will come with time, as he gains more mileage and encounters different situations.”
Now comes an important triple-header that could bring more satisfaction for the Italian driver. This is Wolff’s outlook: “Now we have a European triple-header ahead of us, and the next race will be his first home Grand Prix in Imola: I’m sure he’s looking forward to it with great excitement.”
