Antonelli's Italian GP victory a 'dream coming true'

Kimi Antonelli achieved a historic victory at the Italian Grand Prix, becoming the first Italian winner on home soil in 60 years. Starting from P19 due to engine penalties, the Mercedes driver executed a brilliant comeback, aided by a red-flag period following Charles Leclerc's crash. Antonelli's tactical pit stop under a Virtual Safety Car provided him with a tyre advantage, allowing him to overtake teammate George Russell in the final stages. Despite a minor scare in the gravel during their intense battle, Antonelli successfully navigated the closing laps to secure his seventh win of the season, extending his championship lead over Russell to 66 points.
