Jacques Villeneuve questions Kimi Antonelli bringing classmates to Imola: “It’s your office”
1997 F1 world champion Jacques Villeneuve has questioned Kimi Antonelli’s decision to bring his classmates to Imola, where he was seen with many of his schoolmates at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. Antonelli, the youngest driver on the grid at 18, is balancing his F1 career with his exams, especially as his home race is this weekend, being Italian born in nearby Bologna. During the press conference on Thursday, Antonelli explained that he brought 25 classmates and two teachers to give them a firsthand experience of the F1 world. However, Villeneuve advised Antonelli to “focus on racing” and not let such distractions affect his performance on the track amid concerns that it could divert his attention from the primary goal of racing. Villeneuve emphasized the importance of maintaining a sharp focus on the racing priorities, rather than letting external distractions, like bringing friends to the racing environment, interfere with professional performance.
