F1: Toto Wolff is clear about Italian fans being split between Antonelli and Ferrari

He wanted him, at all costs, and he was right. Toto Wolff is savoring the moment. He chose Kimi Antonelli despite widespread skepticism, and now he has the best driver in the World Championship on his team.

At the Italian Grand Prix, Kimi Antonelli proved his immense talent, taking home a special victory that thrilled millions of Italian fans. Countless Ferrari fans cheered as they watched the young star from Bologna, driving for Mercedes, speed across the finish line in first place.

However, there are those who still struggle to decide which side to take. There are those who have always rooted for the Scuderia and simply can’t bring themselves to celebrate a Mercedes victory—even though an Italian is behind the wheel, one who, incidentally, possesses extraordinary talent.

“Ferrari fans don’t have to choose between supporting Ferrari or Antonelli; they can enjoy the successes of both,” was Toto Wolff’s message to Italian F1 fans, as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport. In fact, that’s exactly what’s happening, with more and more Ferrari fans celebrating Kimi Antonelli even though, deep down, they hope to see the Prancing Horse competitive again—perhaps starting in Madrid.
