‘Best day of my life’ – Antonelli reflects on Monza triumph

Just days after his triumph at the Italian Grand Prix, Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli has described the victory as the best day of his life. Despite starting at the back of the grid due to engine penalties, the 20-year-old fought his way through the field, eventually overtaking teammate George Russell to take the win by 3.857 seconds. Reflecting on the achievement in Madrid, Antonelli admitted he was still processing the magnitude of the win, which extended his championship lead to 66 points. He noted that hearing the home crowd and the national anthem was a deeply emotional and memorable experience, proving to him that nothing is impossible. As he shifts his focus to the upcoming Spanish Grand Prix, Antonelli expressed his determination to continue his strong form and hopefully find more reasons to celebrate with his team.
