F1, Kimi Antonelli as Jannik Sinner: two number 1s making Italy dream

Also at the Miami GP Kimi Antonelli’s talent made the difference. The young Mercedes ace took his third win in a row, becoming, all of a sudden, the favorite for the Drivers’ World Championship. The Bolognese driver reached 100 points in the standings. Behind him is teammate Russell, already 20 points behind.

Kimi Antonelli is exalting all Italian motorsport fans. His driving is special. His determination incredible, as well as the mental solidity he is showing on the track. Inevitable to think of Jannik Sinner who, with racket in hand, shows the same skills as his driver friend.

Two number 1s that are making Italians proud. While soccer is experiencing a negative moment, here are Kimi Antonelli and Jannik Sinner managing to excel in two very competitive sports such as Formula 1 and tennis.

“Now in Italy it will be all Kimi and Sinner, since the national team did not qualify for the World Cup,” the joke, unfortunately true, of Toto Wolff, team principal of Mercedes and, best to remember, the man who decided to bet on the very young Kimi Antonelli as Lewis Hamilton’s heir.
