They come around every now and then, but Kimi Antonelli might just be the next special F1 driver.
Former Ferrari race engineer Rob Smedley praises young talent Kimi Antonelli in Formula 1, labeling him a “generational talent.”
Despite being in his second season, Antonelli leads the drivers’ championship by 43 points ahead of his Mercedes teammate George Russell.
At 19 years old, Antonelli has impressed with four consecutive victories, a first in F1 history.
Compared to Verstappen and Hamilton in their early careers, Antonelli’s aggressive driving style and determination set him apart.
Smedley sees Antonelli as a potential great in the making, with his skill and precision already evident on the track.
As Antonelli gains more experience, Smedley believes he could reach the pinnacle of his abilities and become one of the all-time greats in Formula 1.
