🚨| Kimi Antonelli reveals staggering response to first F1 Win: — Kimi Antonelli shared that he received over 1,000 messages after his first grand prix victory in F1, including from some huge names. Speaking to media, Antonelli expressed: “Yes, now, but it took a while. That was the best day of my life so far, because I'd been working towards this moment ever since I started karting as a kid.” “To finally achieve it was an incredible feeling. I'd never felt anything like it before.” — The Italian teenager, who has since added a second win at the Japanese Grand Prix and become the youngest driver in history to lead the world championship, described the Shanghai triumph as the defining moment of his career to date. When asked about the number of congratulatory messages, Antonelli responded: “Many! I had over 1000 messages on my phone.” — Among those messages were notes from some of Italy's most celebrated sporting figures, adding an extra layer of personal significance for the young driver. Antonelli revealed: “My idol Valentino Rossi wrote to me. That was definitely special.” — Rossi, a nine-time motorcycle world champion and one of his home nation's most iconic athletes, has long been an inspiration for Antonelli, making the gesture particularly meaningful in the wake of his first F1 success. Antonelli also highlighted the message he received from tennis star Jannik Sinner: “But Jannik Sinner also sent me a very nice message – and even dedicated his post-match speech at the Indian Wells final to my victory. That was really cool.” #kimiantonelli 🇮🇹 VIA: [RacingNews365]
