Kimi Antonelli Declares Himself “More Prepared” for a Thrilling 2026 F1 Season!

In a bold statement that has sent shockwaves through the motorsport community, Kimi Antonelli, the rising star of Mercedes, has proclaimed that he feels “more prepared” than ever for the 2026 Formula 1 season! After an intense winter filled with self-reflection and psychological work, the 19-year-old Italian driver is ready to take the racing world by storm.

Drawing from a tumultuous rookie year in 2025, where he faced both dazzling highs and crushing lows, Antonelli has emerged with newfound clarity and focus. He took the time during the offseason to dissect his inaugural season, identifying key areas for improvement with the guidance of a sports psychologist. “We used the break to understand what worked and what didn’t,” Antonelli shared in an exclusive interview with the official Mercedes website. “This helped me set clearer goals for this year. The Kimi of 2026 is more prepared.”

Reflecting on a season filled with pivotal moments, Antonelli highlighted his breathtaking pole position at the Miami Sprint and celebrated his first-ever podium finish in Montreal. Despite struggling during the European leg of the championship, he made a spectacular comeback, claiming second place in São Paulo and another podium in Las Vegas. These experiences have not only toughened him up but also sharpened his competitive edge.

But the transformation doesn’t stop there! Antonelli is also revamping his physical and mental preparation away from the racetrack. “We’re going to maximize our time at home, recharge our batteries, and keep myself at 100%,” he revealed. “In addition, we’ll focus more on cardio, which will be vital for the hotter races.” The young prodigy has returned from his family time reinvigorated and brimming with excitement about the development of the new car.

As he sets his sights on the upcoming season, Antonelli’s ambition is clear: to evolve continuously “as a driver and as a person.” With a fierce determination and an arsenal of strategies at his disposal, Kimi Antonelli is poised to make an unforgettable impact in 2026. Brace yourselves, F1 fans—this season could be the making of a future champion!
