Kimi Antonelli. Come è diventato un fenomeno

by Zapelloni, Umberto
Kimi Antonelli. Come è diventato un fenomeno

The biography of Formula 1 world champion Andrea Kimi Antonelli, written by Umberto Zapelloni.
Discover the journey that took a young champion from go-karts to the pinnacle of motorsport!

Barely past the age of eighteen, Andrea Kimi Antonelli is already a Formula 1 phenomenon. In a remarkably short time, he has racked up record after record: the youngest driver to compete in a Grand Prix, the youngest to set the fastest race lap, the youngest pole-sitter, the youngest world championship leader, and the youngest to achieve a “Grand Slam”—to name just a few. Kimi is a kind-hearted young man—a good student who loves pranks and video games—born with a prodigious talent that he displayed from childhood, when he would sit on his father’s lap—himself a racing driver—to steer a race car. Thanks to the love and support of his family, and above all his own hard work and determination, he has managed to pursue and realize his greatest dream: to race as a professional at the highest level, in Formula 1. From go-karts to single-seaters, this is the story of a success built with dedication and respect by a young athlete who has everything it takes to become truly unforgettable.
