The accident that occurred on the night between Saturday and Sunday along the San Marino Superhighway caused a great stir, and is continuing to cause discussion. The attention of the media and Formula 1 fans was drawn not only by the violence of the collision or the spectacular dynamics of the impact against a retaining wall, but above all by the car involved. A detail that immediately sparked debate and circulated one name in particular, that of Kimi Antonelli.

The car that ended up seriously damaged is a high-performance Mercedes, with a displacement of 4,000 cc, in use by the company of Kimi Antonelli, a young Formula 1 hopeful and Mercedes team driver living in San Marino. A detail that amplified the echo of the news, fueling rapid word of mouth on social media. For hours, indeed days, the name of who was driving the car at the time of the accident was not confirmed.

Mercedes cut the bull’s eye and confirmed the incident with an official note: “Last Saturday night, near his home in San Marino, Kimi was involved in a car accident. Police responded to the scene after being contacted by Kimi. The car involved was only one, and despite the damage to the vehicle, Kimi was completely unharmed”. It has also been confirmed that Kimi Antonelli will be regularly in Bahrain for testing, kicking off on Wednesday, Feb. 11.
