In just his second F1 season, Kimi Antonelli has already established himself as a major contender, showcasing resilience and talent that many find hard to believe given his past struggles last year.
The highlight of his 2025 campaign so far came during the Miami and Montreal weekends. At Miami, Antonelli made an immediate impression — setting the fastest time in Sprint Qualifying and finishing just 0.067 seconds shy of pole in a top-three Qualifying performance. This was a notable feat considering his difficulties with Mercedes during the European swing of last season.
Entering Montreal with a nine-point lead over George Russell, following consecutive wins from pole, Antonelli’s form is stronger than ever. As he returns to Miami, the question is: can he repeat his impressive performance and extend his championship lead? His current pace suggests he’s on track to do just that.
