Andrea Kimi Antonelli (Italian pronunciation: [anˈdrɛːa ˈkiːmi antoˈnɛlli]; born 25 August 2006), also known as Kimi Antonelli, is an Italian racing driver, who is set to compete in Formula One for Mercedes.

Born and raised in Bologna, Antonelli is the son of sportscar racing driver Marco Antonelli. After a successful karting career—culminating in back-to-back victories at the direct-drive Karting European Championship in 2020 and 2021—Antonelli graduated to junior formulae. He won his first title at the 2022 Italian F4 Championship with Prema, and has since won the ADAC F4 Championship in 2022 and the Formula Regional European Championship in 2023 with Prema, as well as the Formula Regional Middle East Championship in 2023 with Mumbai Falcons. In addition to becoming a race-winner in the Italian GT Championship, he also won a gold medal at the 2022 FIA Motorsport Games, representing Italy. Antonelli progressed to FIA Formula 2 in 2024, winning multiple races as he finished sixth in his rookie season.

A member of the Mercedes Junior Team since 2019, Antonelli made his free practice debut in Formula One at the 2024 Italian Grand Prix. He is set to compete for Mercedes from 2025 onwards, replacing Lewis Hamilton to partner George Russell.

Early and personal life

Andrea Kimi Antonelli was born on 25 August 2006 in Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, Italy. His father Marco is a sportscar racing driver and owner of the San Marino-based AKM Motorsport racing team, who have competed in the Italian F4 Championship since 2022. He formerly operated Antonelli Motorsport, who competed in the Blancpain GT Series, Porsche Supercup and International GT Open, amongst winning the 2018 Italian GT Championship.

Antonelli shares his middle name with the forename of Kimi Räikkönen—the 2007 Formula One World Drivers' Champion—which was given by a family friend to his father, who wanted his son to have a foreign name after "Andrea"; the two names have no relation. Antonelli attended ITCS Gaetano Salvemini in Casalecchio di Reno, studying international relations and marketing, and learnt to speak English during his race weekends. His father initially wanted him to play association football in Italy before entering him into karting, as Antonelli showed more passion for motorsport.

Antonelli has selected the number 12 as his personal driver number in Formula One, citing inspiration from his idol, Ayrton Senna; he also used the number throughout his 2022 and 2023 title-winning seasons in junior formulae. His racing helmet uses a base colour of savoy blue, with green, white and red details, inspired by the national colours of Italy.

Junior racing career

Karting (2014–2021)

2014–2017: Career beginnings and international debut

Antonelli started kart racing at the age of seven and was successful in several categories of the discipline. After attending a summer camp with the Automobile Club d'Italia in 2014, Antonelli was scouted by Giovanni Minardi, who signed him to Minardi Management. He won his first title at the 2015 Trofeo Easykart Italia in the 60 cc class, progressing to win the Easykart International Grand Final that year from twenty-second on the grid. Aged nine, he also placed thirty-first in the WSK Final Cup in 60 Mini. Antonelli entered several major competitions in 2016, achieving top-three finishes in the Italian Cup and Trofeo delle Industrie, as well as the WSK Super Master Series in 2017. He won the third round of the Italian Karting Championship that year at Battipaglia.

2018–2019: International success as a Mercedes Junior

Signing to the Mercedes Junior Team in 2018, Antonelli won the WSK Champions Cup, South Garda Winter Cup, and ROK Cup International Final in the Mini class that year, as well as finishing runner-up in the Italian Championship. Antonelli progressed to OK-Junior—the premier under-15 international direct-drive karting category—in 2019, winning the South Garda Winter Cup, WSK Super Master Series, WSK Euro Series, WSK Open Cup, and WSK Final Cup, all with Rosberg Racing Academy. He entered his first Karting European Championship and World Championship that year, finishing runner-up to Marcus Amand at the former and fifth at the latter.

2020–2021: Dominance in senior classes

In 2020, Antonelli progressed to the senior direct-drive OK class, aged 13. Amongst finishing third at the South Garda Winter Cup and runner-up to Nikita Bedrin at the WSK Super Master Series, he won the European Championship on his senior class debut aged 14, as well as the WSK Euro Series, all with Kart Republic. Antonelli retired from the final of the World Championship at Portimão with an injury; he collided with the stationary kart of Maya Weug in wet-weather conditions, suffering a broken left tibia and metatarsus. For his efforts in 2020, Antonelli was named the FIA Karting Rookie of the Year by the CIK-FIA.

Returning for the 2021 season, Antonelli moved to the premier KZ gearbox class. Bidding to become the youngest-ever KZ World Champion—a record held by Max Verstappen since 2013—he finished fifteenth after topping qualifying practice. He successfully defended his European Championship in the OK class, dominating the season with five wins from eight races, and finished runner-up to Rafael Câmara at the WSK Champions Cup and WSK Super Master Series. Upon his graduation to junior formulae, Vroomkart opined that his karting career "already of a classic anthology of a Champion".

Formula 4 (2021–2022)

2021: Junior formulae debut

Three weeks after he turned 15, Antonelli made his junior formulae debut in the fifth round of the 2021 Italian F4 Championship, driving for Prema at the Red Bull Ring. He finished as the highest-placed rookie in his first race and scored four points across the weekend. Antonelli scored further points in the following round at Mugello, before his breakout weekend in the final event at Monza. He finished second-place in race one after a race-long battle with champion Oliver Bearman, and scored additional podiums in races two and three. Antonelli finished tenth in the overall standings after missing the majority of the season, and fourth in the rookies' championship with four wins in the category.

2022: Maiden championships and gold medal

F4 UAE

In preparation for his primary 2022 campaigns, Antonelli contested select rounds of the F4 UAE Championship. He finished third after qualifying on pole position for the non-championship Trophy Round, held in support of the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. In the main championship, he was originally set to only contest round three with Abu Dhabi Racing by Prema, but a positive COVID-19 test for Rafael Câmara saw Antonelli replace him in the season opener for the main team. Antonelli secured three consecutive on-track victories, demoted to third in the latter following a post-race penalty. Also finishing second in race four, Antonelli led the championship after round one; he did not contest the second round, as planned. Accumulating a further podium finish in the final race of round three at Dubai—again being penalised from victory—Antonelli ended up eighth in the final standings after contesting two of five rounds.

Italian F4

In 2022, Antonelli remained with Prema in Italian F4, also co-signed by the Automobile Club d'Italia as a member of ACI Team Italia by virtue of winning the Supercorso Federale in November 2021. Antonelli retired from the lead of the season opener at Imola with a gearbox issue, having started on pole position. He received front wing damage after clipping a kerb in race two, and was penalised for a collision with teammate James Wharton in the final race which demoted him from fourth to tenth. His fortunes changed with two wins in the next round at Misano, followed by six consecutive victories at Spa-Francorchamps and Vallelunga which propelled him to lead the standings ahead of Rafael Câmara. Further wins at the Red Bull Ring and Monza consolidated his championship advantage, and he clinched the title by winning the first race at Mugello. He won the remaining two races of the season, having secured a then-record thirteen victories.

ADAC F4

In parallel with his Italian F4 programme, Antonelli also competed in the ADAC Formula 4 Championship with Prema. He seized two victories in the first round at Spa-Francorchamps, before taking all available wins, pole positions and fastest laps at the Hockenheimring. At the third round in Zandvoort, Antonelli added further consecutive wins in the opening two races before missing out on another perfect weekend by 0.058 seconds in the reverse-grid final race, finishing second to Conrad Laursen in a photo finish. After missing the penultimate event at the Lausitzring with Prema, Antonelli clinched the championship with one race to spare, having taken victory in the first two races during a rain-affected final round at the Nürburgring.

FIA Motorsport Games

Following his titles in Italian and ADAC F4, Antonelli represented Team Italy in the Formula 4 Cup discipline of the biennial FIA Motorsport Games at Paul Ricard. After taking pole position, he won both the qualifying and main races whilst driving with a broken left wrist—owing to a collision near the end of qualifying—to take the gold medal and secure Italy's victory in the overall medal table. He subsequently received a €10,000 grant from chassis manufacturer KC Motorgroup to support his 2023 campaigns. Following the win, Antonelli stated that he experienced "a lot of pain" and " not properly", adding that he had to take painkillers to continue.

Antonelli graduated F4 with 26 wins, 24 pole positions and 37 podium finishes in 57 appearances, becoming the second-most successful driver in the history of the discipline.

Formula Three (2023)

Formula Regional Middle East

Prior to his main 2023 campaign, Antonelli contested the inaugural F3-level Formula Regional Middle East Championship with Mumbai Falcons. He opened the season with a trio of second-placed finishes across the opening two rounds, propelling him to an early championship lead. He consolidated his advantage with his maiden three Formula Regional wins at the third and fourth rounds in Kuwait and Dubai, respectively. Antonelli led title rival Taylor Barnard of PHM by 37 points going into the final round at Yas Marina, where he received a penalty for colliding with Barnard whilst battling for the lead in race one. Antonelli ultimately secured the title with one race to go, and took his seventh podium of the season in the final race.

Formula Regional European

Antonelli progressed to the Formula Regional European Championship in 2023, remaining with Prema alongside Lorenzo Fluxá, as well as F4 and karting rival Rafael Câmara. Antonelli later expressed that he was still "lacking a bit of experience", so progression to FIA Formula 3 was "a bit early for ". Prior to the season, Marcus Simmons of Autosport compared the intrigue surrounding his campaign to the Formula Three debuts of Ayrton Senna, Mika Häkkinen and Max Verstappen, whilst Salvo Sardina of La Gazzetta dello Sport described him as a "predestinato" (lit. 'predestined'). His season started with a second-place on debut at Imola, repeating this feat in both races at Barcelona-Catalunya. A gear selection issue denied his first victory of the season at the Hungaroring, before finally clinching victory in the second race at Spa-Francorchamps, which was marred by the fatal accident of Dilano van 't Hoff.

Additional wins from pole position at Mugello and Paul Ricard followed for Antonelli, who became the championship leader going into the summer break, ahead of Martinius Stenshorne. He earned another podium in race two at the Red Bull Ring following a penalty for Stenshorne, before achieving two on-track victories at Monza; he was stripped of the win in race one for illegal use of the push-to-pass system. Upon his dominant victory in the second race at Zandvoort—winning by over 12 seconds in mixed weather conditions after starting eighth—Antonelli clinched the championship. He later described the win as "one of best races". Antonelli dedicated his title to Van 't Hoff, and was voted driver of the season by the team principals. He ended the season with five wins from 11 podiums and four pole positions, finishing 39 points ahead of Stenshorne and 61 points ahead of Tim Tramnitz. Formula Scout ranked Antonelli as the best driver in junior formulae throughout 2023.

FIA Formula 2 (2024)

Antonelli bypassed the international FIA Formula 3 Championship, progressing directly to FIA Formula 2 in 2024 with Prema, alongside Ferrari Driver Academy member Oliver Bearman. Ahead of the season, Antonelli remarked that he " want to set any expectation [sic]" amidst early rumours of his Formula One prospects for 2025. Prema struggled to adapt to new regulations utilising ground effect, with Antonelli claiming a single point at the season-opener in Sakhir after finishing fourteenth in the sprint race and tenth in the feature, albeit ahead of Bearman in both races. He secured a pair of sixth-placed finishes the following round in Jeddah. After qualifying second in Melbourne, he span into the gravel whilst making up places in the reverse-grid sprint, before battling with Dennis Hauger for the lead of the feature, where he ultimately finished fourth. Antonelli again finished fourth in both the Imola feature and Monaco sprint, ending the latter weekend seventh in the feature. After placing outside of the points in Barcelona and Spielberg, Antonelli sat ninth in the standings halfway through the season; Toto Wolff commented that Mercedes were unfazed by his results and that "a champion needs to be thrown in the cold water".

Antonelli qualified tenth at Silverstone, putting him on pole for the rain-affected sprint. After three safety cars and a red flag, Antonelli secured his maiden win and podium in his eighth F2 round. He retired from the feature, following a first-lap collision with Kush Maini. In Budapest, a gamble on option tyres saw him lead the majority of the sprint, but forced him to make an unscheduled pit stop after a loss of tyre performance. The following day, Antonelli took his first feature race victory after starting seventh on the grid, elevating him to sixth in the standings. He finished sixth in the curtailed Spa-Francorchamps sprint after an award-winning overtake on Franco Colapinto into Eau Rouge, before finishing ninth in the feature following a slow pit stop; he then received a ten-place grid penalty—for Prema's usage of dry ice as a cooling agent—which applied at the Monza sprint, where he was involved in a multi-car collision. He placed fourth in the feature, following a contentious battle with teammate Bearman. Antonelli missed out on his maiden pole position by seventeen-thousandths of a second in Baku, finishing seventh in the sprint and third in the feature, after contact with Zane Maloney in the latter. He retired from both races in Lusail, subsequent to a collision with Maini in the sprint and Richard Verschoor in the feature, the latter released unsafely into his path in the pit lane. Antonelli withdrew from the season-ending round at Yas Marina with illness, finishing the season sixth in the standings with two victories, three podiums, four fastest laps and 113 points.

Formula One career

In April 2019, Mercedes announced that Antonelli had joined their Junior Team. On 17 April 2024, Antonelli conducted his first test with the team, driving the W12 at the Red Bull Ring; he completed further private tests in the W13 at Imola, Silverstone and Spa-Francorchamps. Following a new rule that re-allowed drivers to hold an FIA Super Licence at the minimum age of 17, Antonelli was rumoured to replace Logan Sargeant at Williams midway through the 2024 season; Mercedes denied the move, instead recommending Mick Schumacher for the position.

Antonelli made his free practice debut at the 2024 Italian Grand Prix, taking part in the first session in George Russell's W15. He set the fastest lap before he spun at the Curva Alboreto corner 10 minutes into the session, colliding with the tyre barrier at 52 g. Toto Wolff defended Antonelli after the crash, whilst Mark Hughes of Motor Sport compared his free practice debut to that of Tazio Nuvolari. Antonelli entered another free practice session at the Mexico City Grand Prix, where he finished twelfth after again ending his session prematurely—sustaining floor damage whilst running over a piece of debris. He featured alongside Russell in the post-season test at Yas Marina, completing 62 laps and setting the fifth-fastest time overall.

Mercedes (2025)

Antonelli is due to compete for Mercedes in 2025 alongside George Russell, replacing Lewis Hamilton on a one-year contract. He is set to debut at the Australian Grand Prix and become the first Italian driver to compete in Formula One since Antonio Giovinazzi in 2021.

Other racing

Sportscar racing

In May 2023, Antonelli debuted in sportscar racing, competing for his father's AKM Motorsport outfit in the opening round of the Italian GT3 Championship, driving the Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo. Antonelli won the first race from pole position, before securing third-place in race two with a final-corner overtake on eventual champion Jens Klingmann.

Super Formula

Antonelli was initially set to take part in a Super Formula post-season test in December 2024, driving the Dallara SF23 alongside Prema teammate Oliver Bearman at Suzuka; he later withdrew from the test due to illness.

Other ventures

Antonelli appeared in a cameo role as Matteo in the sports drama film Italian Race (2016), which won four awards at the Nastro d'Argento.

Antonelli co-founded the kart racing team AKM Motorsport by Kart Republic alongside his father in 2023, where he serves as a driver coach and chassis tester.
