Kimi Antonelli is already looking beyond the world title: “I have another dream”
Kimi Antonelli spoke again on the sidelines of Sport in Fiera 2026, an event organized by the San Marino Olympic Committee: “Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always dreamed of making it to Formula 1 and one day becoming a champion, so I’ve always had that dream, and I still do. I believe that when you have a dream, it’s important to pursue it and do everything you can to make it come true. I don’t think there’s an age limit—even as children, right from the start, you can dream. I think you’re already partly aware of my dream today: it’s to become world champion and then go on to become one of the greatest of all time.”
“Now I have to keep doing what I’ve been doing so far, without overdoing it, trying to do my best every weekend, and trying to have fun. Above all, in my job I’m lucky enough to be able to do what I love, and it’s important that I enjoy myself, because in the end, being a Formula 1 driver is what I’ve dreamed of since I was a child. I need to stay focused on the present, on doing the best I can right now. As for pressure, you can look at it two ways: you can see it as a negative or as a positive. I try to see it more as a positive, as a chance to shine under pressure. And I like being under pressure.”
Following Kimi Antonelli’s triumph at Monza and the announcement of the 2027 F1 World Championship calendar—which set the dates for the next Italian Grand Prix from September 3 to 5— ticket presales for the 98th edition of the Italian Grand Prix officially kick off today, bringing the Sprint format back to the Temple of Speed. The presale begins with a phase reserved for American Express Cardholders, who from September 17 through 11:00 a.m. on September 24 will be able to purchase tickets in advance for the 2027 Italian Grand Prix.
During this first phase, it will also be possible to take advantage of the Fidelity promotion, dedicated to American Express® Cardholders who purchased a ticket for the 2026 Italian Grand Prix.
