An acquaintance of the Italian hero has labeled the chances of Mercedes F1 star Kimi Antonelli moving to Ferrari as “definitive.”
Antonelli has made history by leading the drivers’ standings in just his second season, becoming the youngest-ever championship leader after his second victory in 2026. With his third consecutive career victory, he extended his lead over team-mate George Russell to 20 points after the Miami GP.
Russell, hoping to stand out at Mercedes, finds himself in Antonelli’s shadow as the 19-year-old’s success continues to grow.
As talks of a potential move to Ferrari ramp up, Antonelli’s ties to Mercedes through their junior program pose a significant decision for the young racer.
The possibility of Antonelli joining Ferrari has been reinforced by comments from Italian sports legend Alberto Tomba, who sees the Maranello-based team in the starlet’s future.
Amidst the speculation, all eyes are on Antonelli as he prepares to race at the Canadian GP and potentially shape his F1 career path towards championship success and a switch to Ferrari.
