Kimi Antonelli, F1's Youngest Winner, Prepares for Miami Grand Prix

Kimi Antonelli, the 19-year-old Italian driver leading the Formula 1 standings, attended an IWC Schaffhausen event in Miami's Design District ahead of the Miami Grand Prix. Antonelli, who became the youngest Grand Prix winner in F1 history in Shanghai earlier this year, is part of a new generation of drivers including Ollie Bearman, Isack Hadjar, Gabriel Bortoleto, and Arvid Lindblad. He started karting at age seven and was signed by Mercedes-AMG as a junior driver at 12, making his F1 debut last year replacing Lewis Hamilton. Antonelli wears a whale tail charm necklace from Sardinia for luck. The Mercedes-AMG team holds first and second places with Antonelli and George Russell. Two races in Bahrain and Jeddah were canceled due to war in Iran and safety risks in the Gulf region. Antonelli spent the break training in Italy.
