An F1 star took part in a go-kart event in Milton Keynes over the weekend.
Local go-kart racers were surprised to find out they had been racing alongside Mercedes F1 driver Kimi Antonelli, who competed under the false name “Henry Shovlin” at Daytona Milton Keynes. Despite setting the fastest lap of the race, the 19-year-old Italian did not win and received two penalties for “pushing too hard,” according to Daytona employee Daniel Prince. Antonelli was only recognized after the race ended, causing fans to swarm him for photos. Despite not making the podium, Antonelli’s incognito status at the drivers’ briefing helped him avoid detection. This event follows previous visits to the go-kart track by fellow F1 drivers Isack Hadjar, Alex Albon, and Yuki Tsunoda, who have all frequented the track near Silverstone. In the 2025 F1 season, Antonelli finished seventh overall and accumulated 150 points, securing three podium finishes and taking pole position at the Miami sprint race after stepping in to replace Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes.
