Kimi Antonelli: “How much I cried to become great… Halfway through the season I lost confidence in myself, I wondered if I could make it in an environment of sharks.

Antonelli again: “Last year I wasted energy on off-piste activities. Now I only take what makes me feel really good.” And on the future: “Today I feel more confident from every point of view. Records don’t interest me much: I just want to race and win, that’s why I’m in Formula 1.” Kimi from Bologna, 19 years old, is also one of the eight pilots born after 2000: from Bortoleto to Bearman, from Hadjar to the rookie Lindblad… and more. Journey to discover the talents of Generation K, that of our Kimi Antonelli.

What will start from Melbourne at dawn on Sunday will perhaps be the most uncertain World Cup ever. For the series: year zero, many doubts. Will it be the season of the Ferrari Renaissance? Really, as Alonso says, with the new rules even the hospitality chef can drive the new single-seaters? Kimi the new Sinner? In short, questions (and answers) about the F.1 season. And not only that, since in our special you will find analyzes of teams and drivers, votes, numbers, statistics, curiosities, roll of honour, calendar and much more. In addition to the interview with Ivan Capelli, former F.1 driver and Sky Sport F1 commentator: “The new regulation is a perfect storm. I saw a sparkling Red, competing in tenth with Mercedes.

In all of this, Sunday evening will be Milan-Inter: the Milan derby. In view of the Milan derby, the double ex Aldo Serena has designed his two dream lineups. And about the match he says: “The Nerazzurri have two results out of three available, but their play can favor their opponent.” So make room for the Milan Cortina 2026 Paralympic Games, that is, the celebration of diversity, as the world number 1 in sport for athletes with disabilities defined it: here’s everything you need to know, with a particular focus on Italians. F.1 again for the style opening, with Pierre Gasly, Alpine driver, who remembers the victory in Monza 2020 and talks about Italy: “I still have the suit from that race, I’ve never washed it and it smells of champagne. Milan? It’s a city I love, but don’t ask me if I support Inter or Milan…”. Space therefore for the fashion service, the off-the-paper, our advice and the icon, dedicated to the 1956 F.1 World Championship won by Juan Manuel Fangio. This and much more on Sportweek.
