Jenson Button has a word of advice for Kimi Antonelli to become “unstoppable” in F1.
Jenson Button believes that if Kimi Antonelli can fix his ongoing problem with F1 race starts, the Mercedes driver can become “unstoppable.” Antonelli has faced difficulties with race starts in the 2026 season, consistently losing positions and dropping into the midfield. Despite setbacks, Antonelli won three consecutive races, establishing a 20-point lead in the championship. Mercedes acknowledged responsibility for Antonelli’s poor start settings in the Sprint but partial improvements were made for subsequent races. Button sees great potential in Antonelli’s performance once he resolves his starting issues, predicting that he could be a dominant force in Formula 1.
